The LP Swing Orchestra (LPSO) is Britain’s most popular Big Band, the unparalleled choice for fans of authentic Swing Music and Ballroom Dancing breaks across the UK. Heard regularly on BBC Radio 2, Jazz FM, and featured on Sky Arts, this magnificent 16-piece orchestra carries on the legacy of the genre's greats—from the elegance of Glenn Miller and Count Basie to the modern swagger of Michael Bublé.

We are the dedicated house orchestra for major events like The International at the Royal Albert Hall, and the star attraction for our renowned Big Band Dance Breaks at Warner Hotels (including Gunton Hall, Sinah Warren, and Nidd Hall). Join us to experience non-stop swing, excitement, and the spectacular sound of a truly world-class band.

The LP Swing Orchestra stands apart. Formed from the legacy of the famous Len Phillips Big Band, our players have worked alongside music legends like Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and Shirley Bassey.

Under the musical direction of Joe Pettitt, we blend classic Big Band power with contemporary finesse, earning the title of “The best band in the country” (Channel Radio).

Our library spans a century of swing, from perfect-tempo foxtrots to exhilarating jives.

Our annual 4-Night Big Band Festivals with Warner Leisure Hotels are the highlight of the social dance calendar. These immersive breaks are tailored for both dancers and listeners, featuring:

• 16-Piece Live Orchestra: Every night of your festival break.
