Last week saw Sway Allstars a little busy. With Angela and David away touring with Gary Numan and WIll Young, it fell on the rest of our amazing “Sway family” to perform. Birmingham – Huddersfield – Harlow – Henfield This was our Sway Mini UK Tour! It just so happened that all these gigs were […]
At the end of September Sway Allstars popped over to Ireland to perform at a wedding. Now normally we can shout about what we did, who it was for and take some fabulous photos…but this celebrity wanted their wedding to be private and exclusive. So sadly we are not able to talk about it. No […]
And this year, we will be also enjoying the voice of Angela Brooks on tour across the UK. As well as David Brooks touring with Gary Numan, she is touring with Will Young! Will Young, of original Pop Idol fame has been at the top of the charts for many years, as well as tripping […]

Once again, we performed at the amazing Study Travel Awards at the Grosvenor House Hotel. We feel very privileged as this is about the 10th year running, we have been invited to join in.

We had two fantastic gigs last weekend. One was in Tuscany and the other was birthday party entertainment in Devon! We’ve been lucky enough to play all over the world – Monaco, Las Vegas, St Moritz, Dubai. For the fabulous, rich and famous, but this birthday party in Devon was up there with the best. It […]

It was presented as usual by Martin Bayfield but this year it was held at the home of English rugby – Twickenham. We were delighted to perform as a 7 piece band – David Brooks on […]
We felt privileged to attend the League Managers Association awards evening last week. Held at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London. They didn’t need a full evening’s entertainment from us, so we just performed live stings (no party set) as the Managers walked on stage. So there were no singers. Just David on the keyboard, […]
So in April Sway Allstars travelled to Jaipur. A fantastic experience was had by all and we hope that all the guests enjoyed it as much as we did. These photos are great, but they really don’t do the event justice. It was a really magical event and we all felt really privileged to attend […]
There really is nothing better than having live music at any event. And to book live music for your wedding will be the ultimate end to an already amazing day. If you are having a civil ceremony at the same venue, then you could book our pianist or guitar player to introduce the bride. Having […]
Are you in charge of creating an amazing event? Are you at a loss to know what entertainment to book and who to get in touch with? If you really want to wow your guests, then live music would be a great choice and if you book a showband like Sway Allstars, then you will […]
Wow wow wow! What an amazing trip Sway Allstars have just travelled. This really does warrant two blogs. One for the first part of our journey and then we will be posting another for the actual event itself. We flew out to Jaipur the day before the show, so after we checked into our hotel, […]
The Virgin Trains Incrediball was held this year at the Blackpool Tower Ballroom. Saved for the likes of Strictly Come Dancing, where one week each year the show ventures up to Blackpool and is the ultimate week for contestants! So Sway Allstars were privileged to perform at this iconic north west traditionally English venue. The […]
Having any sort of entertainment at an event can take planning and organising. But the benefits of having live music over a DJ or even a tablet with music on, we think, is the best option! So what would we say are the benefits? It makes it a much more sociable evening for you and […]
We love our work! Not only do we entertain so many people and see them having so much fun, but we also get to visit some amazing venues! And one of our January events was Disneyland Paris! Just a quick trip over to Paris for this corporate event and we loved every minute of it. We […]
Well as you know, pretty much all of the members of Sway Allstars loves a bit of dress up! So when we were invited to play for Civica in Manchester we jumped at the chance of joining in with the staff! Civica were having a disco themed party. So we did a Carwash 70s set […]

Sway Allstars are always very excited to be invited to play at the Easyjet Awards Night. An amazing crowd to perform for, with an electric atmosphere – just how Sway love it!

Having worked at events across the world, large and small, we know what gets a crowd up on the dancefloor. So we ask you now…what’s your event? Do you want a great night where it’s all happening? Where everyone talks about it for ages afterwards? And where everyone asks who the band is and how […]
Well what a fun few days this was! Everyone always loves an 80s themed concert and Throwback 2018 was no exception. The difference with this was it was at sea, on a cruise ship, sailing from Southampton to Le Havre, France and back again. During this time, some amazing 80s bands were playing and […]
Monte Carlo in September is really beautiful. And the band were privileged to recently be asked to perform, for Sun Life Insurance, at the Sporting Club.

Friday night saw Sway Allstars at the Guildford Freedom Leisure Lido. We did this event 2 years ago; it’s a public ticketed event.

They have this party every year with […]
16th June was the wedding of Amanda Colley to the Premiership player of Middlesborough FC, Adam Clayton. Their wedding took place at the beautiful Merrydale Manor in Cheshire.

We can’t believe a year has flashed by since the last amazing Incredball! Held once again at the Principal Hotel in Manchester (lovely hotel btw) and it was yet another resounding success… As is the norm with Virgin, there was a drinks reception to start the evening off. Followed by a wonderful meal and then […]
We all have favourites. Not everyone admits it but there is always a favourite in there somewhere. Favourite child, favourite sibling, favourite song, favourite pudding! So what we know to know is…What’s your Favourite Sway Line-Up? So we can break it down in two ways – the favourite and ideal number in the line up […]
Just a quick blog to show the variation of the evenings we play at, with Sway Allstars. It was the Andrew Collinge Hairdressing Awards Night at the amazing Titanic Hotel in Liverpool. What a night! Sadly we have no photos of the night but you can hear the band playing below! There was a mention […]

Sway Allstars love a party … well who doesn’t! The build up, the organisation, getting prepared and the main event itself – great fun from start to finish! Especially if it is a surprise party and the party goers don’t even know that the best cover band in the UK will be playing! Sway Allstars […]
We love adding to our gallery of photographs and we really think these are some of the best! Taken at the recent DFS awards night. Not sure why Mr Jai Amoré features in so many of them, but we have included lots of Angela and Polly too. Also our amazing saxophonist for the night… Here […]
Having great versatility is always an advantage when looking for live music. So often the venue can only fit a certain number on the stage and this can be a problem for some bands for hire. However, Sway Allstars is a little different in the fact that we are completely open to how many people […]
