PICNIC PROM: Final Fling

Bringing the 30th anniversary celebrations to a joyful close, the Final Fling Picnic Prom promises an unforgettable evening celebrating the golden age of swing and jazz, led by the legendary Syd Lawrence Orchestra and the irresistible Marvin Muoneké Quartet. 

Founded in 1967, the Syd Lawrence Orchestra brings over 50 years of big-band brilliance, from the wartime hits of Glenn Miller and the drive of Count Basie to the timeless songs of Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald, delivered with trademark high-octane flair.

“So good it should be BANNED!” Count Basie

“…the Syd Lawrence Orchestra ARE A MUST SEE & A MUST HEAR.” Steve Walker, Big Band Presenter, Coastal Sounds

Completing the bill, the Marvin Muoneké Quartet adds a fresh, soulful spark. Fronted by the “young man with the old soul,” Marvin Muoneké, vocalist, pianist and arranger, the quartet blends classic swing and jazz standards with stylish original arrangements, creating an easy going yet exhilarating soundtrack for a summer evening of relaxed listening, toe-tapping rhythms and picnic-perfect fun.
