*THEY have performed on hundreds of television and radio shows across the world playing more than 300 shows a year in over 25 countries - and now the hard-working Jive Aces are set to come to Worcester for a show.

The band - a group of lads hailing from London - were drawn together by their love for a style of music from the 1940s and 50s.

The music was hot jive, which has the beat, energy and enthusiasm of rock n' roll and the fun and rhythm of big band swing all rolled into one. Their musical journey took them from Elvis Presley to Bill Haley and from Louis Prima to Frank Sinatra.

This was the sound that excited the guys so much that they quickly started dancing and began dominating the floor when hot bands came to town. Now they can be caught at Worcester's Huntingdon Hall at 8pm on Thursday, November 16. For tickets, priced £12.50, call 01905 611427.
