USA list of concerts in 2007

Hi

I am looking to organise holidays (vacations) from the UK to the USA for Big (Swing) Band Enthusiasts.

I have detailed some of our Background below

In the UK we are operating 7 vacations in 2006 at present featuring

The Joe Loss Orchestra
The Memphis Belle Orchestra
The John Miller Orchestra
Listen to my Music a tribute to Ted Heath by Chris Dean and this Band
The Len Phillips Big Band
The Ross Mitchell Big Band and Singers
The New Squadronaires
Manhattan Swing Band
The Syd Lawrence Orchestra directed by Chris Dean
Glenn Miller UK Orchestra
Back to Basie directed by Paul Lacy
Glen Miller Band directed by Ray Mcvay
Passadena Roof Orchestra

We have our own 650 seat Cabaret Theatre with dance floor and one of the best tech crew, sound and lighting outside London. We have a hotel of International Standards (American sized rooms) and bungalows offer a lower cost option. We are the only 5 star Holiday Village in the UK.

Can you help us

Firstly, please can you forward this to anyone else who might help us or post it on to other notice boards – thanks.

We are looking for dates when Big Swing Bands are playing in 2007 so we can put together a tour, we are really interested in to top bands. We are also interested in some daytime concerts of quality (not the world famous names) bands where the players would have the time (and the passion) to join the visitors for lunch before the concert and to explain the big band scene in their State and for drinks afterwards to add that personal touch.

I do hope you can help us
