Could you be our new low bass?
As you may have heard, Ed will sadly be leaving The Swingles at the end of 2022 after a decade in the group, which means that we’re now looking for a new low bass to join the team. If you fit the description below, we want to hear from you! Head over to our Auditions page for more details.

The Swingles Live in Concert
Experience an intimate set from The Swingles, captured live at London’s beautiful Bush Hall in front of a small invited audience. We’ve spent the last two years writing new music and it’s a joy to be able to bring it to life on stage for the first time. Through the alchemy of voices united in harmony, these highly personal songs find messages of hope in themes including lockdown frustrations, displacement and racial injustice. Alongside the new originals from The View From In Here EP, expect to hear some Swingles fan favourites and maybe even holiday sleigh bells...
The show will go live on OnJam on Sunday 12th December at 7pm GMT, with a Zoom afterparty at 8pm for those who join us for the launch. The stream will be available on demand for one month.
