They all have one thing in common - a love of live music making and a desire to be the best that they can be. Membership is drawn from all walks of life, professional musicians, doctors, teachers, students, even professional ebayers! Musicians are generally attached to one band, but some members do appear in several groups.’ The Groups include: Swing Unlimited Big Band; Swing Unlimited Community Big Band; Swing Unlimited Dance Band. There is also a Swing Unlimited Jazz Club.
