"The Regular Joes" are an 11 piece Swing and Jive band based on the South Coast of England specializing in the dance music of that jumpin', jivin' era in-between the Big Bands and Rock 'n' Roll. Their unique (but not so secret!) recipe combines old-school R&B, Jump Blues, and classic Swing along with a tasty sprinkling of "The Rat Pack" to serve you up a swingin', dancin' treat!
Inspired by legends such as Louis Prima, Louis Jordan, Joe Williams, and the The Rat Pack, as well as contemporary swing 'revival' bands such as "Indigo Swing", "Big Bad Voodoo Daddy" and Lavay Smith, "The Regular Joes" will get you on your feet and dancing the night away!
Vocalists Howard Mitchell and Annie Young both solo and blend their voices beautifully, whilst the 5-piece horn section (fronted by Tenor saxophonist James Rawlinson) wail an authentic R&B sound. Throw in the driving rhythm section and this 22-legged swing machine springs into life!

A good start to the Joes
author: HepcatBob
I love dancing socially and have been lucky enough to see the Joes in person three times! As much as i love this CD because its great to dance to, its nothing on seeing them Live. The CD lacks alot the impact of they're live performances. I've seen pretty much all of the swing bands in the UK worth knowing about, and the Joes are up there with the best of them. They keep getting better and better. I hope they do another CD, i think we've yet to hear the best of these guys (& gals). Bob :-)
