The Jive Aces

Together for over 25 years, The Jive Aces have become renowned for their high-energy live show in over 40 countries. The band aims to spread cheer with their swingin’ music and classic vintage style from crooning smooth ballads to blasting honking rhythm & blues to the infectious rhythm of the roots of rock 'n' roll. Having played for Her Majesty the Queen, selling out the Royal Albert Hall, becoming the first band to reach the finals of Britain’s Got Talent or just entertaining at one of their 250 live shows a year, they continuously showcase why they are the UK’s No.1 Jive & Swing band! With their trademark yellow suits and a repertoire that stretches from the timeless tunes of the swing era to the glitz of the Rat Pack with a dash of classic rock ’n’ roll, they perform songs in their unique upbeat style by such great artists as Louis Prima, Bobby Darin, Louis Armstrong, Sammy Davis Jr. and Ella Fitzgerald as well as a selection of superb originals. The Jive Aces have earned their reputation and won several important awards including the City Of Derry International Music Award, the Variety Club Of Great Britain Award for their contribution to music & charity work and several film festival awards for their high production value music videos. They have worked with many celebrities such as Van Morrison, Chick Corea (who recorded on their “Recipe for Rhythm” album), Kenny Ball (appearing on their “King of the Swingers” album, Kenny’s last ever recording), John Travolta, The Proclaimers, The Undertones, Status Quo, Toto, Keely Smith, Jamie Cullum, Priscilla Presley and Kirstie Allie to name just a few. When the Jive Aces released a music video for their upbeat version of a much-loved theme song in the UK, “Bring Me Sunshine” it immediately went viral and to date has nearly 4 million views on YouTube. It is so popular that a Doctor in Seattle actually prescribed the video to his patients to tackle the blues! Their version of the song has also been used in countless TV shows including thrice on “Strictly Come Dancing”. At the start of the pandemic with all their shows having just been postponed, the band decided to do an online live-streaming show called the "JiveStream" to keep up spirits. Not knowing how long this would last, they promised to do it every day which ended up being 500 consecutive, daily shows and as a result made a host of new fans and friends all over the globe from the USA to India and from Australia to Ireland. This is where the idea for their new album and tour "Keeping The Show On The Road" originated because through thick and thin they fought hard to bring people the music despite huge barriers! The new album, "Keeping The Show On The Road" celebrates the songs that have become live favourites over the past few years and the band has aimed to pack in the energy of a live experience into the recording and is available on CD and vinyl and digital platforms. Songs from it have been featured on the BBC, Boom Radio and "La Vie En Rose" even got to No.1 in Mike Read's Heritage Chart!
