Glasgow south’s Alyson Orr will appear as part of the ‘Sisters of Swing’ trio at the venue on 8 September.

The Swingcats’ new show, Sisters of Swing, is a tribute to The Andrews Sisters and the great female vocalists from the jazz and swing era, including Ella Fitzgerald, Peggy Lee and Nina Simone. The Swingcats have fast become one of the nation’s finest vocal groups and fronted some of the UK’s top big bands, including The Glenn Miller Orchestra, the BBC Big Band and the RAF Squadronaires.
