The Old World News are a jazz swing/gypsy jazz band that play everything from jazz standards to modern pop in their own swingin' style!
The Old World News are a vintage style swing band based in Glasgow. We play songs you know in a lively 1940's jazz style!
The Old World News have been playing since 2015. We play songs you know in a vintage swing style; imagine 'Toxic' by Britney Spears was written in 1940's Paris! The band have played everywhere from pubs to clubs, to castles and weddings, and the SEC, and also have performed live on STV.
For weddings and functions we offer bespoke covers: transforming your favourite tunes into a Parisian Swing Extravaganza!
We always go down well and get the party going wherever we play! Here's a testimonial from one satisfied swing fan, Angela Higgins, Asset Manager of Skypark:
'We decided to book The Old World News for our first site launch to market as we needed something quality with a wow for a key audience. What a perfect choice they made. Their clever mix of retro and current is really something special and you can't help but smile whilst the music rolls over you. We loved them and so did our guests. A total HIT!'
