The Silver Ghosts

The Silver Ghosts are a London based 7-piece swing ensemble (trumpet, trombone, clarinet, banjo, double bass, drums, vocals) performing numbers that evoke the hot, breathless and high-spirited dance gigs of the 1920s, 30s and 40s.

Remaining faithful to the smart sartorial spirit of the period of the music, the look is considered an important part of the ensemble’s performance. Some of the band know a few period partner dance moves as well, and are liable to swing out on the dance floor, doing Charleston or Lindy Hop swing dancing.

The ensemble have played at several well-known and prestigious London venues and club nights, including the Elgar Room at The Royal Albert Hall, Ronnie Scott’s, The Savoy, The Nightjar, Green Note, The Candlelight Club, The Blues Kitchen, Camden, Gaz’s Rockin’ Blues, Le QuecumBar, The Pheasantry, Floridita and The 100 Club.
