Big Girls Big Band

About Me

The Big Girls Big Band was established in May of 2007 when five very talented, very beautiful babes got together to drink whiskey, eat 3-in-1s, and play some of the best swing big band music Dublin had ever heard. Bringing together a combined musical experience of over fifty years, the Big Girls Big Band is made up of an alto sax, a tenor sax, a trombone, a trumpet, a bass guitar and drums. We specialise in old big band classics from Glen Miller numbers to modern tunes like "Surfin USA", "Summertime" and "Muppet Show"! As our press release says, "A boisterous brassy sound guaranteed to get everybody out of their seats and jumpin' and jivin' to our old school beats!" A year later, and with their official tagline "Pioneers of the All Female Underground Swing Band Movement", the Big Girls Big Band have gone from strength to strength, busking, playing pubs, festivals and balls, all in the name of some dam good music! ----------------------------------------------------The Big Girls Big Band can be contacted by email at: [email protected]. On the web, at their recently constructed website www.freewebs.com/biggirlsbigband, or through www.starsearchentertainment.com.
