The Jive Aces have established themselves as the UK’s top Jive & Swing band. Together for over twenty years, this extremely popular six piece group has performed at thousands of festivals, theatres and events throughout the UK, Europe and USA, as well as Japan, Israel, South Africa, Morocco and the Caribbean - 30 countries in all. The Jive Aces are renowned for their high energy “Jump Jive” music (the exciting sound where Swing meets Rock ‘n Roll) and spectacular stage show. They combine a mixture of superb, swinging originals from their studio album, and fresh arrangements of swing/Jive/R&B classics - featuring songs by legends like Louis Prima, Cab Calloway, Bobby Darin, Louis Armstrong, Dean Martin, Big Joe Turner and Sammy Davis Jr. With their high energy music, bright stage suits, wild stage show, irresistible humour and sheer professionalism, the Jive Aces will quickly get any audience on their feet - or dancing in their seat! Each and every show is guaranteed to go with a swing!

The Jive Aces list of accolades is as extensive as it is impressive. In 2012, they became the first band to ever reach the semi-finals on Britain’s Got Talent, and followed their run on the show with a performance for Her Majesty The Queen as part of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations for the Olympic and Paralympic festivities. The band has performed at countless major events including In Full Swing at The Royal Albert Hall, The Berkeley Square Ball, Glastonbury Festival, The London Season, Montreux Jazz Festival, Lovebox Festival, The Royal Ballet’s 50th Anniversary, North Sea Jazz Festival, World Swing Dance Championships (Oslo and New York), Grand Order of Water Rats Annual Ball, Society of Distinguished Songwriters, City of London Festival, The Ryder Cup, Cannes Film Festival, Cork Jazz Festival and a performance for His Royal Highness Prince Philip at The World Pony Carriage Championships.

The Jive Aces have worked with many of the top names in the business, including John Travolta, Status Quo, Isaac Hayes, Van Morrison, Count Basie Orchestra, Keely Smith, Priscilla Presley, Buddy Greco, Kirstie Allie, Kenny Ball, Chuck Berry, Tony Christie and Lee Evans, to name just a few. The band has been featured on hundreds of TV and radio shows. Most recently, they are featured live every Wednesday night on BBC Radio London’s “Late Nights” show with Jo Good. Other appearances include CNN, ABC’s Good Morning Los Angeles, Channel 4’s Holy Smoke, BBC Radio 2, DNA Stories, Wakey, Wakey Campers, JazzFM, PBS’s hour-long special A Swingin’ Christmas, an eight week residency the hit Italian show Niente Popo Dimenoche, BBC1 TV’s Children in Need, and many more.

In 2006, The Jive Aces were the recipients of the prestigious “City of Derry International Music Award”. They also received in 2008 a special award from the Variety Club of Great Britain for their contributions to entertainment and charity.

Their latest albums, Diggin’ The Roots Vol.1: Rockin Rhythm & Blues and Vol.2: Hot Jazz are available now, and are a celebration of the two root branches of The Jive Aces sound.
