Welcome...
...to the official website of the Customs House Big Band...
A popular and dynamic big band that has been running for the past 11 years, having evolved from a community project into the tight unit that presents itself today.
Playing a wide range of jazz standards and more modern big band arrangements, including fantastic vocals from Ruth Lambert, we really do offer something for everyone!
Our open rehearsals at the New Crown in South Shields (first Tuesday of the month, with FREE entry!) offer a fascinating insight into how a big band rehearse and prepare for upcoming performances.
You can also catch our gigs at popular venues around the North East and beyond!
Please feel free to come on in and check out what we're all about - why not add us to your favourites too? That way you can keep up to date with all our latest news and gig dates!
