The Ellington’s 17th Birthday Celebrations
6th – 8th March 2026
Welcome to ‘Big Band, Bigger Hits‘, where rock and pop classics get the makeover they truly deserve. We’re not just playing covers—we’re re-charting the charts. Guitar solos get brassed up, drum beats go from four-on-the-floor to four-on-the-swing, and melodies get so jazzy they need a fake mustache and a beret. Expect horn sections that really blow, rhythms that syncopate your expectations, and tunes that prove these hits weren’t born yesterday—they were just waiting to jam mature. So grab a seat, your favourite beverage, and let the Midnight Rollers take it from the top… again!
