traditional nursery rhymes and children's' songs in modern
settings all sung by Caroline Sweeney. Look for a new release in
2006 - "Touchdown from Tokyo" which will be an album of original
ambient jazz compositions by Brian Melville. Other projects in
the pipeline include a second nursery rhyme album, some jazz

"Swingthing" which is run by Solway Music, is a 4/5 piece
jazz/swing band which is available for weddings, celebrations,
functions and corporate events. The band specialises in jazz and
swing music in the "rat pack" style but is equally at ease
performing in a variety of genres. To underline this
versatility, Swingthing recently had the pleasure of performing
for Camilla Dallerup and Ian Waite in a ballroom
dancing weekend
held at the Lodore Falls hotel on the shore of Lake Derwentwater
near Keswick.
A prominent feature of "Swingthing" is the fabulous voice of
Ronnie Walker who styles himself on Frank Sinatra. Ronnie has
been on the circuit for many years and has performed in venues
all over the country. He is not limited to one particular style
, however, and is perfectly at home with rock n roll and other
dance music.
He is ably accompanied by Brian Melville -keys. Brian has been a
musician for many years and has performed in a variety of venues
in the UK and Europe. His first love is jazz music but is not
averse to playing any type of music when the occasion arises.
Favourite bands include Chick Corea Electrik Band, The
Yellowjackets, Dave Weckl Band and Dave Brubeck Quartet. Brian
is currently playing a Roland FP3 electric piano and a Korg M1
synthesizer
Laurence Blackadder - bass. Laurence is a relative newcomer on
the scene but has made rapid progress on his 150 year ols French
bass. He also plays 6 string electric bass which gives him
access to a wide range of genres. He is currently receiving
lessons from Zoltan Dekany and formerly from Iain Crawford of
the Scottish Symphony.
Dave Thompson - drums. Dave is a highly experienced
percussionist who has played professionallly in Europe and the
Middle East. Having learned his trade in Birmingham he moved
north where he now resides.
