THE SWINGLES have been challenging the boundaries of vocal music for over 60 years, earning 5 Grammy® Awards and establishing themselves as one of the world’s most beloved and admired vocal groups.

Throughout its various iterations (Les Swingles Singers / Swingle II / The New Swingle Singers / The Swingles / The Swingle Singers and since 2014, The Swingles again), the group’s signature and instantly-recognisable sound has remained constant and timeless, and their intricate arrangements remain unparalleled. The current singers are masters of their craft, constantly seeking new ways of reimagining jazz, folk, pop and classical music from their ever-growing repertoire, alongside creating a rich vein of new original material. Their combination of close-microphone amplification paired with the extraordinary range and vocal dexterity of the group’s seven individual voices to create one seamlessly-blended vocal sound, has captured the admiration of composers and collaborators alike, who have embraced the sheer versatility of the group and its genre-crossing possibilities.

Today’s Swingles are: Mallika Bhagwat (India/UK), Sarah Alison (USA), Laura Moisey-Gray (UK), James Botcher (UK), Owen Butcher (UK), Jamie Wright (UK) and Tom Hartley (UK).
