The Parachute Regiment Big Band


We regret that this gig has been cancelled due to the band having a pressing engagement elsewhere. Customers will be contacted regarding refunds. We apologise for any disappointment or inconvenience caused.

Under the directorship of Music Director Matt Simons and Bandmaster Mike McGowan, the Band of the Parachute Regiment has been performing music and ceremonial marching displays for Britain's armed forces for more than half a century.

However, from time to time this 18 piece outfit likes to let its collective hair down, to play some big band jazz, performing material from renowned classic and contemporary composers such as Sammy Nestico, Gordon Goodwin, Charles Mingus, Buddy Rich, Rob Nield, Callum Au, Glenn Miller and the Dorsey Brothers, plus vocalists Frank Sinatra and Michael Buble.

All proceeds from the evening will be donated to the Corps Of Army Music Trust (CAMUS).
