About the show

A big-band night out with the Kings of Swing

We take swing classics from the Great American Songbook and play them alongside modern hits reworked with a twist of swing. Everything from Beyond the Sea to Paolo Nutini.

The Kings of Swing show is built for a theatre. Luke fronts the band with our musical director Charco Bernard, and the night runs through the songs everyone knows: Mack the Knife, New York, New York, Face the Music and Dance, My Way, Beyond the Sea, Mr Bojangles, Fly Me to the Moon and That's Life.

We've sold out Vicar Street, the National Concert Hall and the Olympia Theatre. We've played the Late Late Show, made two TV series for Virgin Media, and spent summers as the resident band at Áras an Uachtaráin. Our album Dance With Me was a best-selling Irish independent release.
