Royal Air Force Swing Wing
Leader: WO Gary Stevens
Band Sergeant: Sgt Rob Scullion
Formed in 1989, ‘Swing Wing’ concerts feature the melodies of a truly golden age in music, when Swing meant much more than ‘a piece of playground equipment’.
The band has appeared all over the UK, in venues ranging from theatres, concert halls and aircraft hangars to the 12th century Pickering Castle! Often sharing centre stage with many of Britain’s most illustrious musical figures including vocalist Lee Gibson, celebrated jazz saxophonist Tommy Whittle and the late, great Kenny Baker.
Swing Wing perform the music immortalised by the great orchestras of Tommy Dorsey, Benny Goodman, Glen Miller, Count Basic and many more from a time when melody was King and music fans its adoring subjects.
