Dave Martin & The Casino Cats Swing Band
The Casino Cats Swing Band has been performing throughout Ireland for many years. They offer premium live music for weddings, corporate functions, public venues, festivals, and private events. They’re available from Dave Martin’s Swing/Jazz solo with recordings, or his smooth Acoustic/Jazz Trio, to their lively & popular 5-piece Swing Band and amazing 8-piece Swing Band.
They pride themselves on offering a “cooler than average” band, which is never cheesy, always completely live, never the same performance twice. They are seasoned musicians, each with over a decade of performance experience. Some are members of the Ulster Orchestra, the Ulster University Big Band. They’ve supported, recorded and performed with artists such as Van Morrison, Ray Charles, Bob Dylan, Tom Jones, and Snow Patrol.
As the band performs such a vast repertoire of music, their song lists are split into different sections to make it easier to show what they offer – Swing, 50’s Rock & Roll, Acoustic, Modern, & Christmas. Any of their songs can be performed either with the band or with Dave’s Solo. They encourage their clients to get involved and tailor their music exactly to suit the style of their event.
Whether you require a smooth background Jazz/Acoustic set for an afternoon reception, a classic Swing set for a stylish function, perhaps a lively, dance focussed mix of 1950’s Rock & Roll and modern chart music for an evening reception, or his cheerful Christmas set for a festive party – Dave promises to give your guests a performance they are sure to remember.
