Tony Hadley’s autobiography “To Cut A Long Story Short”   ” …….were an outstanding five piece pop/rock band. The quality of the songs was impressive and the singer, R B (AKA Nat King Bing) ,had a great voice.”

 

Martin Lillekars Book about the history of music in Sheffield “Beats Working For A Living” Jarvis Cocker from Pulp says “I remember going to parties and if RB (AKA Nat King Bing) was there you could guarantee that around 1 or 2 in the morning there’d be some a capella sing song going on.”

What is Shwing?

 

Shwing is an ice cold Martini with a single olive in a wide brim glass.

 It’s a double bass playing a walking bass line.

Shwing is a piano improvising lightning quick solos.

 It’s the savage bossa nova rhythm of the drums

Swhing is the cool guitar lines.

It’s the swagger of the crooner clicking his fingers to the beat. It rides a fingersnap on the off-beat, claps only triplets.

Shwing hints at its presence in the jaunty angle of a hat and the arched eyebrow of the singer scatting over a Killers song.

Its Nat King Bing and The Kings Of Shwing and they’re in town to party!
