The Bandwidth porch is all skiffled clean this week, with a hooch-sippingly spiffing turn from Belfast’s wonderfilly named Swell Time Western Swing & Cowboy Jazz Band.

Once, and perhaps some time again, known as Hornby from Continuous Battle Of Order, with friends Marty and Alice and a little help from a guy called Tom McShane – this ragtime troupe of gents (and lady) have been seen lighting up events around Belfast lately – including a turn at the Oh Yeah centre last week at the first ever, everCulture Night.

What else do you need to know about from; They’re the best party band I’ve ever seen; they’re all top blokes (and ladies); some of them have tattoos; more music should just be like this, all the damn time..

The Swell Time Western Swing & Cowboy Jazz Band are playing The Black Box in Belfast on 16 October and will, in all sincerity, play a wedding, birthday, wake, bar-mitzvah or makar sankranti near you by request.
