The Debbie Curtis Radio Big Band

Debbie Curtis :- The Mistress of Swing!
Putting the BIG back in BAND!!!!!!

A standing ovation at the world famous ‘London Palladium’ says it all really, however…….

The Debbie Curtis Radio Big Band has rapidly become the UK’s Top Big Band, thrilling audiences of all ages across the UK with ‘The Concert that thinks it’s a Show’.

“Eccentric, Rhythmical, Brilliance. This is a Class outfit with a Capital C. Other Big Bands Beware” Jim Kennedy, Encore Magazine.

“We thoroughly enjoyed it, what a great night” Chris Tarrant

With a music library of over 9000 titles, the band covers the music of all the greats from then until now, including, but not exclusively, Miller, Basie, Kenton, Heath, Dorsey, Sinatra, Herman and many, many more! From ‘In The Mood’ to ‘The Pink Panther’, ‘Minnie The Moocher' to 'Hawaii Five O', even Robbie Williams gets a look in with hit arrangements from the album ‘Swing When You’re Winning’

Not just a concert, Debbie's Hobsons Choice Dancers and Re-Enactors make this a concert and a show that all ages will enjoy!

The band has released several CD's worldwide and all their recordings can be downloaded on Apple iTunes.

Recent press and radio coverage reached over 60 million people across the UK and Europe and they are the most rapidly expanding Big Band on the Internet, building a massive fan base of all ages via their colourful website, MySpace and YouTube profiles.

They have have performed at top venues including The London Palladium and Her Majestys Theatre in London’s West End. Live performances have also been broadcast to a wider audience by BBC programmes on special occasions.

The band is available for private or public functions including Concerts, Dances, Corporate Events, Parties, University Balls, Weddings, Black Tie Affairs, Festivals, Cruises, TV and Radio etc.

They can also be booked as a 'performance or recording ready' backing band for other artists and performers!

Debbie's very own Hobsons Choice Jive, Swing & Jitterbug Dancers as well as 1940's era Re-Enactors are also available.

The Band Reportoire includes over 9000 music arrangements in a library covering many music styles and eras.

With famous names from the Big Band Jazz & Swing world they produce the highest quality sound that other Big Bands strive to achieve. They can be booked direct or through any good entertainment agencies. (Booking agent enquiries are welcomed).

Within their website www.debbiecurtis.co.uk you can listen to their music and will find merchandise including Big Band CD's Videos, DVD's, Photos, Links, Reviews, and Gigs, plus details on how to Book The Band. You can join their news database and recieve all the news, as it happens with their regular email newsletters for Big Band fans.

Debbie Curtis, the mistress of swing, is the UK's ONLY female professional Big Band Leader. She is an accomplished musician and singer who plays guitar and piano. An expert in Big Band Jazz & Swing History and Music, she can sight read a full conductors score and drives the band in a style so obviously inherited from the band's founder 'Her Dad, Eddie Curtis'.

"Some say Swing's not here to stay
And that It's dying out
But I can prove it's in the groove
They don't know what they're talking about"

The instructions are to pick four people that You want God to Bless right now. I picked you. Please pass this to at least four people you want to pray for and a copy back to me. This prayer is powerful, and prayer is one of the best gifts we can receive. There is no cost but a lot of rewards. Let's always pray for one another. Here the prayer: Father, Thank You for each and every day You have blessed us here on earth. Thank You for Your tender mercies. Thank You for giving us friends and family to share these Internet joys with. I ask You to bless my friends, relatives and those I care deeply for who are reading this right now. Where there is joy, give them continued joy, Where there is pain, give them your peace and mercy. Where there is self-doubt, release a renewed confidence. Where there is need, fulfill their needs. Bless their homes, families, finances, their goings and their comings In Jesus' name Amen . (If you choose to send this to more than four people, you are truly blessed to have such friends). A BEAUTIFUL FRIEND YOU ARE.

JIMMY YUKKA HAS HAD ENOUGH OF MYSPACE

Hi

Thanks for being our myspace friend. We get spammed all the time

on myspace and its getting hard to know who's a fan and who isn't. If you are a fan it would be great to see you at our next

gig - see www.jimmyyukka.com.
In future the best way to find out

about what we are up to is to join our mailing list.




If you have any questions about this or anything you

can

Contact Myself or Quick Stix here



All the best

Jimmy
