   About 5 Go Swing

5 Go Swing draw their inspiration from the beauty and passion of Gypsy Jazz. Formed in Cardiff in 2004, they have quickly left their mark on the local jazz scene, thrilling audiences with an irresistible mix of beautiful melodies combined with compelling dynamic and rhythmic variety.

These musicians play with a zest and intensity that expresses the passion and romance of the Gypsy tradition. Their repertoire moves between lyrical mid-tempo swing jazz tunes (popular standards such as Night and Day and Sweet Georgia Brown), profound ballads, traditional Gypsy dances, exhilarating up-tempo swing, swaying bossa, bolero and waltz.

They capture the essence of a musical tradition that both exhilarates and moves. Their growing reputation means they have a busy schedule across South Wales, including festivals at Pontypool, Brecon, Rhondda, Treorchy and the Kinsale Jazz Festival in Ireland and Black Mountain Jazz.

YES! I do too, but I can't breathe, I can't sleep and my head is throbbing....I went to the Pharmacy last night and she hooked me up, so I hope with these meds I can get to feeling better. I am not coming in this afternoon to work. We might actually do that. Send a text my way and remind me, if you don't mind. I'd love to do that! We are SOOO loving our vacation time and love being around people too. the extra money we made from taking those paid surveys online helped out so much!! you should really do them too; i mean, hey, the extra money comes in handy, right? i guess you'll have to type the link into internet explorer or whatever, but here it is: www. surveyblingbling .com anyways, so, I will see you next Tuesday. Have a great day!

Thanks for the nice comments about our gig. it was a fun night.

We are back now in Bologna getting some rest from all the hectic travelling of the past week.

I hope to catch you guys live next time i'm back. I'll keep you posted about when exactly that will be...

Maybe i could sneak up on stage for a Minor Swing or something...
