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 […]

Last Friday saw Sway Allstars heading up to Aberdeen, to perform at the Killer Heels and Cocktails charity ball, at The Beach Ballroom, in aid of Action Medical Research.

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.

Sway Allstars spent another amazing evening with everyone at the Regent’s College Graduation Ball at the London Hilton at Park Lane.

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.

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 […]

We love a festival – just love them… and so when we were invited to headline the Hastings Beer Festival, we jumped at the chance. As well as our SWAY set we have been known to do a Motown & Soul set, an 80s Pop set and a 70s Disco set. On Friday we provided […]
Here at Sway we’ve been asked to sign a few ‘Non Disclosure Agreements’ when we’ve played at celeb parties and there are often ‘Social Media Black-outs’ on high-profile corporate events. But when we were asked to go and work for “a large American computer company” at their annual week-long sales conference and corporate event in […]
