An afternoon of vintage 1940s vocal harmony music with The Swingettes, in full vintage costume, after the Remembrance services.
The Swingettes are playing Derby Market Hall on Sunday 8 November, from 12:00 to 14:00. It's a midday slot on a Sunday, and the music follows the Remembrance services, so it's more of an afternoon thing than a night out.
The Swingettes are a vocal harmony trio specialising in vintage music from the 1940s. They describe themselves as lively, and they lean into the era as much as the music: they perform in full vintage costume, red lipstick and victory rolls. If you've never come across them, that's the whole package — the 1940s sound and the look that goes with it.
Because they're a trio, the whole thing is built on harmony singing, so the focus is on the voices rather than a full band. The set is drawn from the 1940s, so you'll be hearing the kind of vocal music that was popular back then, sung in three-part harmony. It's the sort of thing that works well in a hall like this, especially in the middle of the day.
