EUROPE’S number one western swing quintet, The Swing Commanders, will return to Settle’s Victoria Hall this weekend.

The “three guys and two gals” play an amazing 15 instruments and will perform western and 40s swing classics.

“This multi-talented band really are the cats with the cream of music from a bygone era,” said hall manager Ann Harding.

The gig - which takes place on Sunday at 7.0pm - launches the hall’s 2015 season.

Other highlights include a return visit by singer Henry Priestman, a Norwegian music workshop and concert, and a performance by Liverpool band The Christians.

There will also be drama from LipService Theatre with its Hysterical Historical Show and a musical treat from Creme Anglaise and John Helliwell.
