WHEN it comes to authentic swing music The Pasadena Roof Orchestra has no equal.

The orchestra performs year-round with a line up of 11 excellent jazz musicians who have perfected their craft and studied jazz at the top conservatories.

Many years of working together with top class arrangements, result in the ensemble sound for which the orchestra is renowned.

The show, at Redditch's Palace Theatre, is presented in a way that not only showcases this talent, but adds some wit and humour.

Duncan Galloway is the band-leader and vocalist, and is also responsible for the musical direction.

With a background in theatre and music, Duncan has been part of the orchestra for more than 10 years.

The repertoire currently comprises 200 titles of jazz, early swing and dance music from the era, all of these are scrutinised, not only by Duncan, but by the whole Orchestra.

Some of the new arrangements are from two of the band members, the trombonist Adrian Fry, and the pianist, Simon Townley.

The Pasadena Roof Orchestra will be at the Palace on Wednesday, July 8 from 7.30pm.

Tickets are available in person or at the box office on 01527 65203 priced £19.75 (£18.25 discount) inclusive of booking fee 75p per ticket up to a maximum £3.
