SwingShift10

Sunday January 14th - Mainly Latin and Soul with the SwingShift10 All Stars and guest vocalist Daria – 12:30 – Jaguar Social Club - CV5 9PS - £10 – two bars and hot and cold food

Next Sunday I will be back performing with SwingShift 10 playing a mainly a Latin set along side Becc Percival on percussion, who I havnt seen since moving back to Coventry from Northampton 8 years ago who I had the pleasure to play a few gigs with The Zjaxz Collosus Big Band. Sundays gig will also feature numbers with the bands talented soloists. There will also be some Soul vocals which will feature Daria in her debut performance with the band and arrangements dedicated to her.

Daria started her singing journey more than 20 years ago and has sung in a variety of music genres throughout the years. After getting her Music Performance degree at ICMP in London, she began teaching students from all over the world, giving vocal masterclasses and workshops. Daria and (her husband, Laz, a bass guitarist) are passionate Rock and Metal fans, but Daria has a fondness for Motown, Disco, and Jazz, leading her to explore singing with a Jazz ensemble.

It certainly will be great to play with Swingshift 10 again down at The Jag Club.
Get along if you can for a band that is certainly unique.
