The Clore Ballroom
King Groovy & The Horn Stars

Saturday 20 December 2008, 5pm

This exciting 18-piece band loves to party with a toe-tapping mix of swing, jazz, funk, Latin and pop. Featuring the full complement of five saxophones, four trumpets, four trumpets and hot rhythm section, King Groovy’s repertoire includes all the great dance tunes from the likes of Count Basie and Louis Prima as well as funky stuff by Herbie Hancock and Quincy Jones.

Once described as 'like hearing the roar of a Spitfire engine', the unique big band sound crosses the generations and will inspire young and old to get up and get grooving.
