A band loved by the king of the Christmas charts, Michael Bublé, is bringing its UK tour to Norfolk.
Swing orchestra Down For The Count’s Swing Into Christmas show will play at the King’s Lynn Corn Exchange this autumn.
Once described by Bublé as “awesome”, the 30-piece orchestra will take to the stage on November 18 and 19 for two nights of festive and non-festive classics.
Formed in 2005 and directed by conductor Mike Paul-Smith, the “big-band with strings” comprises some of the nation’s top vocalists and instrumentalists and is one of the largest swing bands currently touring the UK.
“Artists like Frank Sinatra and Nat ‘King’ Cole would often have a string section in the band when they recorded,” Mr Paul-Smith.
“But these days, touring productions tend to reduce the band size to the bare minimum.

“We’ll have 30 musicians on stage and every note is completely live.”
Aside from the vocals, saxophones and violins, audiences will be treated to trumpets, tubular bells and maracas.
Tickets are available now and start at £40.
