Vintage Swing Thing at The Grand will be a standing event with limited, unreserved seating, to allow for a large dance floor that will allow guests to show off their best swing dance moves throughout the evening.

Hailing from Clitheroe, Lancashire, Arthur has become a fan favourite around the Ribble Valley, particularly following his internationally recognised ‘Sunday Singalong’ sessions during lockdown.

His timeless smooth voice puts a fresh take on old classics and reimagines modern tunes with great poise and authenticity.

“It’s a special venue that truly embraces the spirit of live music, and we’re honoured to have the opportunity to share our music with the audience once again.”

Vintage Swing Thing are a dynamic and musically virtuosic 7-piece band, led by their musical director, Joshua Goodey. This timeless band forms the backdrop of the show, performing a mixture of 20s inspired modern classics and swing songbook numbers of yesteryear.

With a repertoire of original arrangements that wouldn’t look out of place at Ronnie Scott’s, Vintage Swing Thing’s all-singing all-dancing rhythm section will get you shaking your tail feathers.
