This year featuring two full big bands for your dancing and listening pleasure......
"Count Basie vs Chick Webb at The Savoy Ballroom"
We are very, very excited to bring you the return of the Savoy Ball... and this time we really have pulled out all the stops! Re-creating that historic night on January 16th 1938 when Count Basie took on Chick Webb in the Battle of the Bands, at the world-famous Harlem hotspot, the "home of happy feet", the Savoy Ballroom.
We are proud to present two full Big Bands comprising today's very best swing and jazz musicians put together by the one and only Pete Long.
Prepare to Battle with the Bands as Basie's All-Star Contenders take on Chick's Savoy Champions!
Who will win this time? - you decide!

Running on and off from 2002 through to 2014 The Savoy Ball became the highlight of London's swing dance and music calendar. After the 10th Savoy Ball in 2014 we decided to take a break for a year - the following year, 2015, The Grand Hall was devastated in a huge fire so it's only now that we are able to return, with the building having been painstakingly rebuilt.
The Savoy Ball is a very glamorous affair, with everyone "dressed to the nines" in vintage attire (or Black Tie). Dancers of all styles and none are most welcome - come join the party!
