Coming to Jive and Swing through rock, classic, blues and jazz, The Jiveoholics have a wealth of experience performing live to audiences of all kinds and present a humorous, high octane show with jumping rhythms and a pumping beat.
Formed in the sleepy welsh market town of Monmouth (home to the world famous Rockfield Studios), the band have worked hard to become the leading jump jive act in south east Wales and are guaranteed to make any gig go with a bang.The classic line-up of vocals, sax, guitar, keyboards, bass and drums allows the band to faithfully recreate the music that was all the rage in the 1940’s and 50’s and the current play list includes many of the hits that had audiences rocking and rolling in the aisles years before rock and roll had even been thought of.
Compositions by the jump jive greats, Louis Jordan, Cab Calloway and Louis Prima feature widely in the set along with more contemporary work by artists such as Brian Setzer and it's all tied together with a light hearted, tongue in cheek delivery between numbers.The Jiveoholics play a two hour show split into hour long sets during which the audience will be invited to join in on chorus lines and cajoled into dancing if they are not already boogying across the floor.
So if you’re looking for a nice band to play nice music you’re obviously in the wrong place – but if you want to dance and party through the night then these are your boys!
