THE sound of swing arrives in Evesham this month and your Worcester News is giving away tickets.
On Thursday, May 25, Swing n' Sinatra comes to the Evesham Arts Centre for one night only. Accomplished musican Simone Smith - former member of the renowned Ivy Benson and her All Girls Orchestra - will be joined by her husband Chris and perform a host of classic big band numbers.
The couple will be paying tribute to the legendary Frank Sinatra, as well as Glenn Miller and Jools Holland.

Mrs Smith, who sings and plays lead alto saxophone, has an impressive resume, having played with Paul Weller and John Williams.
For Mr Smith, bandleader, pianist and trumpet player, music runs in the family - his father Chris Smith Sr played trombone with Sinatra on his European tours.
"Its great that there's a strong resurgence in jazz and swing music," he said.
"It's enjoyed by all generations, mainly thanks to artists such as Robbie Williams and Jamie Cullum and we're looking forward to bringing some classic swing music back to Evesham."
We have three pairs of tickets to Swing n' Sinatra up for grabs. To be in with a chance of winning, answer the following question -
