Description

Let’s Swing for Xmas is the first CD recording by the Berrytones Big Band which is based in Bad Bentheim in the district of Nordhorn. Nordhorn is in Lower Saxony’s south-western corner of Germany close to the border with the Netherlands.
The Band is led by Andrew Berryman, the former principal trombone with the Halle Orchestra now an established conductor and educator based in Cornwall. Seventeen ‘big band’ tracks are featured on the recording with impressive vocal numbers by their resident singers, Chananja Schulz and Stefan Paßerschroer.

Funding for this recording was provided by the Grafschafter Volksbank and £9.00 from the sale of each CD  will be donated to the German Multiple Sclerosis Foundation.
