<p>We hope your new year has gotten off to a swinging start. Ours certainly has!</p>
<h2>Recently...</h2>
<p>Since our first break out of Covid jail in March, we had a packed rest of the year. Here are a few highlights:</p>
<p><img src="https://d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/248901/95276e82e2248396d58cc150a579fa5e5d63e1bc/original/best-of-2022-small.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.jpg" class="size_xl justify_center border_none" alt="" />We also just spent a week over New Year's in Athens at the Half Note Jazz Club with every night of our seven-show run sold out.</p>
<p>Here are a few photos we took up the Philopappos Hill overlooking the Acropolis.</p>
<p><img src="https://d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/248901/d13c6a75d3b9944485bb4793af958e328d809713/original/athens-collage.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.jpg" class="size_xl justify_center border_none" alt="" />We have also been down in the West Country last weekend in Compton Dundon and Torquay. Always lovely to head West into the heart of England.</p>
<h2>On TV (Well, our music was)</h2>
<p>We just found out that a brand new cop show on Fox in the USA called "Alert: Missing Persons Unit" starring Scott Caan (from the Hawaii 5-0 reboot and Oceans 11, 12 & 13 and also James Caan's son!) have used our version of "Bring Me Sunshine" in the opening scene of episode 2 which aired last night.</p>
<p><img src="https://d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/248901/8e5df9fefdc5d755d7de67f86713ea248f8a9e2f/original/alert-poster.jpeg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.jpeg" class="size_xl justify_center border_none" alt="" /></p>
<h2>Coming Up</h2>

<p><span class="font_large">Last week we had a great time at the Boogaloo Jump, Jive & Boogie weekend in Bournemouth. We had people travel in from all over the UK, the Netherlands, France, Denmark and even the USA especially to see us (and all the other great bands too, of course!).</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We even had co-host, the great Earl Jackson literally jump up for our big finale of "Jump, Jive & Wail" which is always a riotous experience for everyone involved!</span></p>
<p><img src="https://d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/248901/74bba5d8c9cf5203c77ded832ea7c33fb0172f75/original/boogaloo-collage.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.jpg" class="size_xl justify_center border_none" alt="" /></p>

<h2>Charity Cheques</h2>
<p><span class="font_large">Over the Summer we raised some money through various events including the Summer Evening Jazz in Ingatestone and our own Summertime Swing. One of the beneficiaries of this fundraising was <strong>The Not Forgotten</strong>, the UK's longest-running veterans charity which focuses on entertainment and activities for injured veterans.</span></p>
<p><img src="https://d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/248901/12d5e93de56a4fd898e990eb8fbefd0d2580b120/original/chques.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.jpg" class="size_xl justify_center border_none" alt="" /></p>

<p>Check out the video of the routine below. If you fancy it you can even go to the YouTube page and leave them a comment about the Jive Aces (as long as it is once)... 😉</p>

<p>We have had a busy few weeks including playing at some great Festivals such as Twinwood and Route 66 in Switzerland as well as the first Big Jive All-Dayer in the Netherlands and a music video shoot in Paris. Read on for the latest news and up-coming shows <strong>(including our next gig this Saturday at Horatio's on Palace Pier Brighton with a £5 discount if you use promo code "alex" at checkout!).</strong></p>
<h2>The Big Jive All-Dayer Netherlands</h2>
<p>We had a great first-ever international version of the Big Jive All-Dayer in The Netherlands on 3rd September.</p>

<p>It's been an incredibly busy August and September doesn't let up much either, just how we like it! There is lots to cover so please read through to the end (that's where all the best stuff is! 😉).</p>
<h2>Summertime Swing</h2>
<p>Summertime Swing was an absolute smash, despite our reduced capacity we were sold out and everyone had a great time! Thank you to all our volunteers, our guest performers <strong>Ray Gelato, Rebecca Grant, The London Belles, Noelle Vaughn, Adele Joel, Lucky Will and Carlton Braganza,</strong> and our DJs <strong>Eight-Beat Mac, Eight-Beat Mabel, Jivin' Man</strong> and guest DJ <strong>Swinging Rocking Daddy</strong>! thanks also to <a contents="Vivien of Holloway" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.vivienofholloway.com" target="_blank"><strong>Vivien of Holloway</strong></a> for our lovely new Hawaiian shirts which we can't get enough of!</p>
<p><img src="https://d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/248901/3956f6e4b61f9bd67c492fa8ec212e61728cc648/original/09fa0dc9-e0b1-49b3-ba5c-8f83693e566d.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.jpg" class="size_xl justify_center border_none" alt="" /></p>
<p>We are still counting the shekels but it looks like we have raised £3000 to split between three charities, two local ones and <strong>The Not Forgotten</strong> who were represented on the day.</p>
<p><img src="https://d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/248901/d44d3a8444562818c9e9c3c006a99edb97fcea48/original/fe3718bc-6251-4ac1-b582-c865daf95a4a.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.jpg" class="size_xl justify_center border_none" alt="" /></p>
<p>working to confirm the date for next year and we should be back up to full capacity so watch this space for news!</p>
<h2>Edinburgh & Glasgow</h2>
<p>Literally the early morning after Summertime Swing we jumped in the van and headed to Scotland for a three-show run at the world-famous Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the largest arts festival in the world. We sold out our show which is no mean feat considering there are over 3500 competing events over the three weeks!</p>
<p><img src="https://d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/248901/9a7208ec508903b5f13705b0de1e6a74690eb57e/original/fringe-2022.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.jpg" class="size_xl justify_center border_none" alt="" />We also headed over to Glasgow for a swing dance with our friends "Rock Til U Drop". We will be back in both the Edinburgh and Glasgow areas sooner than you think (October) so look below for the upcoming dates.</p>
<h2>Belfast</h2>
<p>After a flying visit home, we flew out to Belfast for a private party but were fortunate enough to catch the legend Van Morrison in concert at the Customs House Square. Van was on top form playing a lot of blues, rhythm and blues and gospel in his set which also included songs from his new album as well as a few classics such as "Gloria", "Baby Please Don't Go" and even "Brown Eye'd Girl"!</p>
<p><img src="https://d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/248901/d7bb1fe44952ab6b6780f9b599787a262d6efb7f/original/img-6458.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.jpg" class="size_xl justify_center border_none" alt="" /></p>
<h2>Route 66, Aarburg Switzerland</h2>
<p>Right after we got home from Belfast it was off to Switzerland for our first time at the Route 66 Festival in the beautiful town of Aarburg. We were on the bill alongside loads of great rock and rockabilly acts including Status Quo.</p>
<p><img src="https://d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/248901/8623ba728f389217a6e97dca0a23bca1dac8d95d/original/aarburg-copy.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.jpg" class="size_xl justify_center border_none" alt="" />A great time was had despite their British weather (no, we didn't bring it!) but they had plenty of brollies on hand as you can see.</p>
<h2>Twinwood</h2>
<p>It was great to be back at Twinwood again, with so many friends from worldwide! The Down For The Count Orchestra played an incredible set with their extended big band lineup and the amazing Si Cranstoun was on after us amongst many other acts so a great day of live music in a great weekend!</p>
<p><img src="https://d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/248901/e3acc78f85798d04c031b3aee28e0a66963d4d5f/original/twinwood-2022.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.jpg" class="size_xl justify_center border_none" alt="" /></p>
<p>We may have even snuck in a cheeky video with the London Belles for our new TikTok channel (see below).</p>

<p>The Jive Aces are renowned for their high-energy swinging music and spectacular live show and have toured in over 40 countries worldwide. They strive to spread smiles and cheer with their swingin’ music and classic vintage style from crooning smooth ballads to blasting honking rhythm and blues. </p>

Space is limited so book quickly. Here is the official blurb below.</p>
<p>The Jive Aces are the UK’s number one Jive and Swing band. They met and came together with a common love for American roots music; jive, swing, jazz, blues and rock and roll. When asked in interviews how they came upon and got into this genre of music as teenagers in southern England they always tell the same story - that it was through the door opened by Elvis Presley, the King of Rock and Roll. Loving the music of Elvis they quickly learned of his influences such as blues singer Arthur Crudup who wrote and recorded the song that became Elvis’ first hit record, “That’s Alright Mama” and dived back into time and into the rich melting pot of music that foreshadowed and became Rock and Roll.</p>
<p>While their peers danced to disco, punk and hip hop they listened to early Rhythm and Blues, jive, hillbilly, gospel and vocal groups and soon started a band playing the music they loved on a mission to spread the spirit of this upbeat music across the country. So this is not a tribute show but a labour of love, as the Jive Aces go back to their teenage years to shine a spotlight on the music that is not only their roots but the very roots and inspiration of Elvis and the original rock ’n’ roll movement which itself was the river that lead to soul and rock. Relax and drift back to the America of the early 1950s and soak in the sounds that inspired the King. That is if you manage to restrain yourself from getting up and dancing.</p>

<p>Greetings everyone, </p>
<p>We have some great news to share and that is Summertime Swing is 100% going ahead this year on Saturday the 6th of August! </p>
<p>Please note that there will be a limited amount of tickets this year in order to keep you all safe and comfortable. So don't delay, get them today! </p>
<p>Earlier in the year it was touch and go whether we would be able to go ahead, especially as this is a charity event, but we don't give up that easily. </p>
<p>In overcoming the adverse effects of the previous two years of the pandemic we came up with a cunning and brilliant plan to make it all happen despite everything and still give you the "Summertime Swing experience", but with something special and exclusive; this year we will be in the lovely meadow next to the manor with special access to the actual Manor terrace and rose garden so you can enjoy the incredible view while supping your tea or champers in VIP style! </p>
<p>Some of you have had your tickets for over two years so we wanted to let you know first to give you a head start. The space will be more intimate so there won't be room for gazebos however there is much more shade from trees. </p>
<p>So despite all, we will have the same great event with the same great music in the same beautiful setting of Saint Hill Manor so we can't wait to see you there! </p>
<p>But once again, remember this year it is a limited, exclusive affair so please don't miss out! </p>
<p>We are working to confirm the date for next year and this will of course be the full-on festival back in all its glory in 2023. Meanwhile let's get swinging, jiving and rocking for Summer 2022. </p>
<p>Lastly, the early bird price tickets for only £18 run out at the end of the month so if you need any more or you know any friends who may want to come then please let them know ASAP as the price goes up on the 1st June. Send them to <strong><a contents="jiveaces.org/summertimeswing" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.jiveaces.org/summertimeswing" target="_blank">jiveaces.org/summertimeswing</a></strong>. </p>
<p>All the best and see you soon! </p>
<p>P.S. All our other dates are at <strong><a contents="jiveaces.org/tour" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.jiveaces.org/tour" target="_blank">jiveaces.org/tour</a>.</strong></p>

We have played every edition of this festival except the very first one (only because we didn't yet know each other!) and even participated in the online version during the pandemic's two-year hiatus.</p>
<p>But after three years (two-missed festivals) we came back with a bang and we were heart warmed by the reception of the Derry audiences!</p>
<p>Here we are with the Mayor and festival organiser Andrea in front of the guild hall on the famous Derry walls!</p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/248901/9051f2fb3f9ae15ecdbf2c0800cd591fc75a6f7c/original/279433137-407697694692205-3615681225879012596-n.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>Here is Ken with the big guns!</p>

It is a great initiative to expose the younger generation to real live music. We had several young people, now in their late teens tell us that they took up instruments after seeing us play at their school when they were young (which made us feel not so young! )</p>
<p>We also got a lot of press coverage over the week, here is a small sampling!</p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/248901/a870c1d27e4aa869dd3e51f6958159dea0562c8a/original/derry-press-collage.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>We got to see, meet and jam with great friends and incredible musicians and bands too including the incredible Jumpin' Up from Sicily!</p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/248901/7895755a9c756ed01b744530b3a973af0e2c0d8f/original/ian-and-jumpin-up.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>All in all, it was a great trip and we can't wait to be back. We may even be back before next year's festival so watch this space!</p>

<p>In March 2020, at the beginning of lockdown, The Jive Aces began a series of daily online live performances streamed to fans all over the world via their Facebook page and Youtube channel. They recently achieved the astonishing record of <strong>500 consecutive days of free live streams</strong> for which they were granted a plaque of gratitude by the stream community. The "JiveSteam", which features swinging music and call-ins from special star guests, now goes live three times a week, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings at 8:30pm UK time.</p>
<p>The band has toured all over the world and played numerous top festivals and venues from the <strong>Royal Albert Hall</strong> to <strong>Ronnie Scott’s</strong> to <strong>Glastonbury</strong>. They have received many awards including Best Band at the prestigious <strong>Boisdale Music Awards presented by Jools Holland</strong>. They have collaborated with and worked alongside artists including <strong>Van Morrison, Chick Corea, Isaac Hayes, John Travolta</strong> and the late <strong>Lionel Blair</strong> to name but a few and their music videos have received over five million views on YouTube. </p>
<p>The band is also famous for putting grumpy Simon Cowell “in a good mood” during the auditions of <strong>Britain’s Got Talent</strong> where they became the first band to reach the semi-finals and just recently their music was selected for the latest series of <strong>Strictly Come Dancing</strong>.</p>
<p>The Jive Aces have been together for over 20 years and have received multiple awards, for both entertainment and charity support. </p>
<p>They have a busy year ahead as they will tour the UK theatres with their "<strong>Big Beat Revue</strong>" show, starting in February, and have a tour of the the USA planned from mid-March to mid-April 2022. </p>

<p>Wow, we just found out that our version of "Bring Me Sunshine" was used on Susan Calman's Grand Week By The Sea, Ep. 5 on Channel 5. Susan relived her Strictly routine with Kevin Clifton at the legendary The Blackpool Tower Ballroom (where we have played a few times!). </p>
<p>Check it out here (it's at the end of the show). </p>

<p>We hope you are all getting some much needed fresh air and sunshine while it lasts! here is a quick email with an update about Summertime Swing. </p>
<p>It is with great disappointment though that we have to announce that we are unable to hold Summertime Swing in person again this year due to the ongoing situation. It was going to be difficult enough even before the latest government announcement due to lack of time and resources and with the latest news of of the extension of restrictions it throws too much uncertainty into the mix to make it possible to organise. </p>
<p>As you know we spend hundreds of hours each year organising, promoting and rehearsing for the event every year and every single penny of profit goes to local and national charities so we are doubly disappointed that we will be unable to support them again this year. </p>
<p>For all those that have already purchased tickets either last year or this year, they will be valid for Summertime Swing 2022 which is on Saturday 6th August, 2022. If you are unable to commit to next year's date or would rather get a refund, please go to <strong><a contents="eventbrite.co.uk" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.eventbrite.co.uk" target="_blank">eventbrite.co.uk</a></strong> and start the refund request and I will process it right away. </p>
<p>If you haven't got tickets but would like one for next year's event then please go to <strong><a contents="jiveaces.com/summertimeswing" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.jiveaces.com/summertimeswing" target="_blank">jiveaces.com/summertimeswing</a></strong>. </p>

<p>We hope you can understand the decision but it really is unavoidable at this point but we hope you can help us make Summertime 2022 the biggest and best ever! </p>
<p>We will however be holding a virtual online Summertime Swing special live-stream. This will be on Sunday 8th August from 3:00pm to 5:00pm UK time and is of course completely free. We will be showcasing some never before seen videos from the past few Summertime Swing events with very special guests! You can join the <a contents="Facebook event HERE" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://fb.me/e/1dEwO8gLl" target="_blank">Facebook event HERE</a>. </p>
<p>Fingers crossed we see you all soon! </p>

<p>First up we were in the Sussex Argus, our biggest local paper in the area.

Our goal was to bring some smiles to people and little did we know that 10 years and well over 3.5 million views and seven film festival awards later we'd have such a huge and continuing response.</p>
<p>The video has taken us all around the world with festival, concert and event organisers having been sent it by friends or family. A doctor in Seattle prescribes it on his Rx pad to people feeling down. It has led to our cover of the song being featured numerous times on TV in everything from game shows to soap operas to comedies.</p>
<p>On top of all that, we have had so many people write to us telling us how it has helped them in their lives, relationships, work etc and it has been very humbling to say the least!</p>
<p>Help us celebrate by sharing the video with your friends and spreading the sunshine just a little bit further!</p>

As most of you probably know, we usually play about 250 live shows a year all over the UK, the USA, Europe and sometimes farther.</p>
<p>Since Covid and the ensuing lockdown hit, we were stuck with nowhere to go. As everyone else was stuck in the same position at home with nothing to do feeling bored, sad, exasperated etc we decided to start a daily live stream show playing a few tunes and having a bit of a chat. We thought it would last about three weeks and here we are a whole year later.It has been quite an adventurous learning curve but we have been able to stay in touch and entertain friends and fans all over the world and also make a whole lot of new friends. We have also accidentally created a new JiveStream community with lots of new friendships having been made the world over. You can join the community at our dedicated <strong><a contents="Facebook group, The JiveStream Greenroom" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.facebook.com/groups/jivestreamgreenroom" target="_blank">Facebook group, The JiveStream Greenroom</a></strong>.</p>
<p>We have overcome many different barriers to continue bringing you daily episodes including several relocations many hours drive apart, internet outages, equipment failures and a whole lot more but as our motto goes, "The show must go on!".</p>
<p>We have a Facebook event page for the 365th episode so please go ahead and mark yourself as going and also invite some friends along so we can have a huge party! The link is: <strong><a contents="https://fb.me/e/2adnkIjQT" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://fb.me/e/2adnkIjQT" target="_blank">https://fb.me/e/2adnkIjQT</a></strong>.</p>
<p>We hope to see you there and we'll be continuing our daily episode for as long as we cannot tour (which looks like May or June in the UK at the moment.</p>
<p>All the best,</p>

Chick Corea<p>R.I.P. Chick Corea. </p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/248901/6275cf76fe2d26659265f1f71944fb16a5f476d8/original/1064747-10151705020852042-817543134-o.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>Chick is a man we had the honour of meeting, seeing perform, having dinner with, recording with, playing with and each of these dozens of times was an absolute pleasure. Above all that we are extremely privileged to call him a true friend. </p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/248901/72be49c81a15725d5257d0b2129587f78bd65c89/original/1052545-10151705020807042-1763935143-o.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>It goes without saying that Chick was an incredible artist but he was also always so giving. His wife Gayle would call us and offer us tickets every time Chick was in London and of course we always jumped at the chance if we were in town. She also insisted that we bring any other musician friends that might like to see this master at work. Those tickets were NOT hard to give away. </p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/248901/d1063c8e1ba210d7027e83d6aee63818970a3248/original/1064888-10151705021767042-13940039-o.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>Seeing him play was always a treat as he exuded effortless joyful insouciance on the keys at every show regardless of whether it was one of the incredible lineups he used or a duo or solo show but more than that, seeing him talking with other younger musicians was truly a gift. He was always so encouraging and always full of sage advice and positivity. </p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/248901/c9a78ac8c6fc77d0b836f05aab41da1ef83710ed/original/1053506-10151705021422042-1834276677-o.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>He will leave a huge hole in the world of not just jazz but music in general. A true artist, a real gentleman, a friend to the world. </p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/248901/d5e01112126decab3a79449ef31ad26c7562d686/original/1063701-10151705021607042-250055820-o.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>Farewell Chick and thank you for the immeasurable amount of music, advice, positivity and inspiration you put into the world, it certainly is a much, much better place for having had you in it. See you again down the road for jam sometime soon. </p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/248901/d02bc0a6a0b4af262df05080c7c13f647191e9a3/original/1048205-10151705021557042-1782871040-o.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>

We will premiere each one on an episode of JiveStream and then shortly afterwards release it as it's own video on <a contents="YouTube" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.youtube.com/jiveaces" target="_blank">YouTube</a>.</p>
<p>Here is the first video of us appearing on Opportunty Knocks with Les Dawson in 1989. It was Les Dawson's last series as host of and we came tied first place on the night from the audience clapometer but eventually lost out to swing singer Andy Prior. At the time we were relieved as we had just left for Switzerland on one of our first European tours and coming back for the next round would have been a pain! http://www.jiveaces.com.</p>

We held out to the last minute to see if something could be pulled off but unfortunately despite the government now allowing some outdoor events, with all the restrictions, social distancing etc that are still in place it would not be able to cover its own costs or indeed raise any money for charity (considering the expenses of sound system, staging, infrastructure etc). Also we feel the fun atmosphere that Summertime Swing always has would be impaired by these restrictions and thus reduce the quality of experience for the attendees so we feel it is better to do it properly and give everyone the full experience. </p>
<p>Therefore we have changed the date of the eventbrite listing to Sunday 8th August 2021 (final confirmation pending) so you have the choice to either just use your existing ticket next year (for which you don't need to do anything at all) or if you cannot attend or are unsure if you can attend and would prefer a refund then please initiate one through eventbrite and you will refunded in full. </p>
<p>We will be looking at how to do other events now that things are opening up so please keep an eye on our gig guide. We are aso planning a virtual Summertime Swing so watch out for info on that too! </p>
<p>Here's to a better and brighter 2021. Stay safe, stay well and keep swingin'! </p>

<p>We headed to deepest darkest Essex to Sugar Ray's Vintage Studio's run by a very old friend of the band, Dean. He has spent years putting together equipment and building the space to emulate the style of the Sun Records and other 1950s studios and has done a great job. The space looks and feels great and we spent two days laying down some red hot rhythm and blues tracks with Gina.</p>

Well, the good news is that our new single, "<strong>Bad News</strong>" is <strong>OUT NOW</strong> and available on all streaming and download platforms such as iTunes/Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music etc. Just go to <strong><a contents="https://ditto.fm/bad-news-the-jive-aces" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://ditto.fm/bad-news-the-jive-aces" target="_blank">ditto.fm/bad-news-the-jive-aces</a></strong></p>
<p>The song, written by Peter, is a response to the fact that what you see in the papers and on TV is only ever overwhelmingly bad news and that it makes it seem like there is nothing good going on in the world which is the opposite of true.</p>
<p>We are also working on a video for it so subscribe to our <strong><a contents="YouTube channel" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.youtube.com/jiveaces" target="_blank">YouTube channel</a></strong> for updates!</p>

<p>It was especially momentous as it was on the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings and there were six Chelsea Pensioners in attendance who were there at D-Day! This year we were lucky enough to witness Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex perform the task. <br>This year's Britain's Got Talent winner, 89-year-old Chelsea Pensioner Colin Thackery was of course on parade and got a special mention in the Prince's speech.</p>

<p>Hey folks, </p>
<p>As many of you know, all of us have been Scientologists for well over 20 years now and we have been big supporters of the church's "Truth About Drugs" campaign having done hundreds of events. </p>
<p>We have some very exciting news! Last year we filmed an episode of a series called "Meet A Scientologist" for the new Scientology TV network which is a mini-documentary about the band. It is airing this Tuesday at 5pm Pacific Standard time and again at 8pm. Then on Wednesday at 3am, 9am, and 2pm. </p>
<p>If you are outside the USA or don't have "Direct TV" then don't worry because it will be live-streamed at www.scientology.tv (UK times: Wed 18th, 1am, 4am, 11am, 5pm and 11pm) and it also be on demand on the website and the app to watch any time you want after the initial airing. </p>
<p>Check out the trailer for the show right here...</p>

<p>What an amazing weekend! Right after we touched down from Colombia (four flights to get home!) we flew right to Slangerup in Denmark for the Snake City Jazz Festival for the first time. </p>
<p>A lovely little town about 45 minutes drive from Copenhagen and they have a great jazz festival there, a little similar to Upton Jazz Festival" with Marquees set up in a field and several venues in the town. </p>
<p>We played two shows to packed audiences and made a lot of new friends. </p>
<p>Check out the picture of Ken with some serious branding on the bass! </p>
<p>Then we flew on Sunday back to Heathrow and headed to Bedfordshire to a very sunny and packed Twinwood festival! </p>
<p>We had special guests Cassidy Janson, Antonio Socci and Lottie Beattie join us for a great laugh on stage to a huge crowd. </p>
<p>Lovely to see all our friends from all over the world and great to see Mike Sanchez again after performing with him at Summertime Swing a few weeks ago! </p>
<p>This week we are in London rehearsing for a potential Louis Prima related project and this weekend we are at Rayner Rock n Roll in Tadcaster and the Tower Ballroom in Middlesborough. All details from the Tour page!</p>

<p>Right after Summertime Swing, we drove straight up to Edinburgh for the Fringe, the biggest arts festival in the world. Unfortunately, we could only stay a couple of days as we have to fly to Colombia on Friday!</p>
<p>We started off on Monday morning with an appearance in the big blue tent for BBC Scotland on the Janet Forsyth show which was broadcast later that afternoon. You can hear our two spots on the BBC iPlayer <strong><a contents="HERE" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08z9dw1#playt=1h5m24s" target="_blank">HERE</a></strong> and <strong><a contents="HERE" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08z9dw1#playt=1h55m48s" target="_blank">HERE</a></strong> for the next 28 days.</p>
<p>Then we shot over to Geroge Square Gardens to do a couple of songs at Assembly's "Best of the Fringe" variety show. Right after that, we snuck in a cheeky viewing at the Imax of Dunkirk to see Tom Hardy do an amazing job shoot down those pesky Fokkers!</p>
<p>We started off Wednesday playing a couple of songs at Merv Stutter's "Pick of the Fringe" variety show before heading back to George Square to set up our own show!</p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/248901/3193ab0f17669856c5084b76e29bdee4f5124ce3/medium/4a68a0d6-de6b-4429-88ec-2eeb64a8373c.jpg?1502368462" class="size_m justify_right border_" /></p>
<p>The show featured special guest Amy Baker who performed at her first Fringe and blew the audience away!</p>
<p>It was lovely to catch up with our good friends Jim and Tamra Meskimen (who feature in many of our music videos including "Bring Me Sunshine", "La Dolce Vita" and "Smile" and also Anneka from The Three Belles!</p>
<p>Lastly, we have to give a shout out to the Margarita and all our friends at the City Restaurant where we just can't get enough spicy haggis!</p>
<p>Till next year, farewell Edinburgh!</p>The Jive Acestag:jiveaces.com,2005:Post/48049942017-08-07T11:02:48+01:002017-08-07T22:29:43+01:00Summertime Swing Smashes All Records!<p>Wow, over 1,500 people at Summertime Swing!
