Orchestra at The Apex...
The ‘Best Big Band in the Land’
is back for 2019 and their
explosive new show is better
than ever!
Directed by Chris Dean, their new
show dazzles with the dynamic

helping of nostalgia.
In 1967 Syd Lawrence formed

UK’s most successful and
longest running Big Band,
performing in theatres all over
Europe and featuring on many TV
shows. With Radio 2 broadcasts every
week and numerous album recordings, The
Orchestra also toured with Tony Bennett,
Matt Munro, Frankie Vaughan, Mel Torme
and played concerts with Shirley Bassey. The
Orchestra, directed since Syd’s retirement in
1996 by virtuoso trombonist Chris Dean, has a
repertoire of over 1,200 classic Big Band titles
including Glenn Miller´s ‘Moonlight Serenade’
and ‘In the Mood’, Tommy Dorsey´s ‘I’m
Getting Sentimental Over You’ and ‘Opus One’,
Benny Goodman´s ‘Sing, Sing, Sing’, Artie
Shaw´s ‘Begin The Beguine’, Woody Herman’s
‘Blues on Parade’, Duke Ellington’s ‘Satin Doll’,
and Count Basie´s ‘April in Paris’, along with
hits from the Great American Songbook by
the likes of Frank Sinatra, Nat ‘King’ Cole, Ella
Fitzgerald and Peggy Lee.
