The LP Swing Orchestra presents: Luck Be A Lady!

Fresh from their acclaimed Sky Arts show ‘100 Years of Big Bands’, the LP Swing Orchestra returns with a brand-new celebration of swing.Under the musical direction of vocalist Georgina Jackson (the UK's only female commercial Big Band leader) and joined by the glorious vocals of Nicola Emmanuelle and Julia Sullivan, this reimagined ‘Ratpack’ style trio takes you on a journey back to the golden age of the big band – when swing was king and the great female vocalists were its crown jewels. You’ll hear classics from Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Peggy Lee, Liza Minnelli, and Judy Garland, alongside iconic Big Band favourites and hidden gems from some of the era’s more unsung voices. Step into the smoke-filled clubs and grand stages of the swing era, where women’s stories were told in song – of love, loss, defiance, humour and joy – and experience them anew through the energy of a dynamic 16-piece orchestra. Luck Be A Lady honours those voices while refreshing their spirit for today’s audiences, with the unmistakable thrill of live big band music.
