Their show is crammed full of classic Swing, Jive, Boogie and Blues arrangements of songs from the 40?s, 50?s and early 60's. Hit tunes from the stars of the day: Louis Jordan, Louis Prima and Cab Calloway; Wynonie Harris, Big Joe Turner and Ray Charles; Infectious rhythms that won't let your feet stay still and will have you heading for the dance floor as soon as you hear the first note! Their outrageous stage costume of loud Hawaiian shirts, pork pie hats and two tone shoes have ensured that a) this band won't be mistaken for any other and b) they are being sought by the fashion police of six European countries for crimes against sartorial elegance. The fusion of white hot, upbeat, swinging music and unforgettable outfits all wrapped up in engaging, cheeky banter means the party starts when The Jiveoholics hit the stage.
