The Correspondents

DJ Chuckles and Mr Bruce are The Correspondents. This veteran duo play swing with a contemporary twist; the Big Band sound of the 20s and 30s is revamped for the 21st Century. Chuckles is the music maker, a highly skilled producer who is difficult to pigeon hole. His tracks are lyrical and jazzy yet they bounce like hip hop, they are intricate yet his tunes are woven together with a pervading humour. His talent as a producer is matched by his agility as a DJ. He has an uncanny ability to judge a crowd and make them jive laying down a history of upbeat swing from Benny Goodman to Jurassic 5.

Glenn Miller

Alton Glenn Miller was born in Clarinda, Iowa on March 1, 1904. He started his musical career when his father brought home a mandolin. As soon as possible, he traded the instrument for an old horn, which he practiced diligently. During the late 1920s and early 1930s, Miller managed to earn a living working as a freelance trombonist in several bands. His first band was formed in 1937 but failed to distinguish itself and eventually broke up.
