About the band

The Clefhangers celebrated their 40th anniversary in 2023, a huge achievement! We are the south east’s premier big band comprising of professional musicians and performers, some of whom have been with us since the start.

As a big band we revel in the original big band dance era of the 1930s and enjoy including in our shows a variety of intricately crafted arrangements of classic and recent songs. Our singers capture the uplifting feeling that performing with a big band brings.

Have a look at our upcoming shows and book via our website. Our clips below give you a flavour of our performances. We look forward to seeing you at an event.

If you are hosting an event, as a band we can scale to your venue and tailor our performance to your preferences from our songbook. Our dance numbers are ideal for dancehall venues and dance lovers. Do contact us for more information.

So, whether it is a forties, fifties theme night or our full repertoire we bring the sound, energy and feel of a live big band in full swing.

We look forward to seeing you soon.
