Matt Ford is a renowned big band singer working regularly with the John Wilson Orchestra, and other top UK and European orchestras, as well as swinging with the likes of the BBC Big Band, Clare Teal, Syd Lawrence Orchestra, etc. This project is a labour of love for the band leader and drummer Matt Skelton, as is evident in the way these highly accomplished musicians have been brought together to perform this set with passion and joie de vivre!
