Phil Dando Big Band and Singers

» Profile

The Phil Dando Big Band, with singers Heather Castle and Brian Crane, was formed in 1992 and has been touring the UK ever since. The band has an unique library, mainly arranged by Mike Blake. It not only includes big band swing and ballads from the big band era, but Rat Pack classics, sixties and onwards pops, Latin American, Rock and Roll and all ballroom dances. Nearly 200 titles in all.

The band is of smart appearance wearing a set of Green Jackets (or black if required) with black bow ties. The male vocalist wears black tuxedo and the female vocalist has a stunning range of her own fabulous creations.

Insurance is more than adequate, consisting of 2M public liability cover, 10M employers liability cover and the band leader has a further 2M of public liability cover. Electrical equipment is all PAT tested and certificated.

This is a first rate, professional outfit and comes complete with a full lighting rig and operator.
