The Swing Thing is the official performance website of UK singer Chris Anderson, focused on classic Swing and Rat Pack tribute shows. The site targets the events market in South East England, covering occasions such as weddings, birthdays, corporate events, charity dinners, pub/club/restaurant entertainment, and Christmas parties. Its style is built around classic and modern swing repertoire associated with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole, Bobby Darin, Harry Connick Jr, and Michael Bublé.
The core service is live solo vocal performance. The website states that Chris can provide up to 2 live sets of 45 minutes each, bringing his own high-quality PA sound system and lighting equipment. Background music can be played between sets; since Chris also has DJ experience, a professional disco/DJ service can be added, creating a one-stop evening entertainment package from live singing to party dance music. The site includes sections for repertoire, gallery, audio, testimonials, and contact, making it easier for event organizers to judge whether the style is a good fit.
The website does not publish a price list, packages, or minimum fees, nor does it explain commercial terms such as travel costs, overtime fees, deposits, or cancellation policy. Bookers need to request a quote via phone at 07900958984, email at [email protected], or Facebook. As this is a local solo entertainment service, pricing will most likely vary depending on date, location, performance duration, whether DJ service is included, and equipment requirements.
The main strength is its very clear positioning: vintage, elegant, and well suited to weddings and formal dinners. Bringing its own sound and lighting can reduce coordination work with the venue, and the combination of live vocals plus DJ is practical for wedding receptions and company parties. Customer testimonials also provide some word-of-mouth credibility. The downside is limited transparency: there is no publicly viewable availability calendar, pricing, contract process, or full video showcase. The site content also appears heavily duplicated during crawling, suggesting average site maintenance and technical execution.
It is best suited to users in South East England planning a wedding, birthday party, charity ball, corporate party, or themed restaurant night, especially those looking for a Sinatra/Michael Bublé atmosphere rather than a standard pop band. It is not a good fit for users who need a large band, original music, international tour-level production, or a platform that supports instant online booking.
Judging by the nature of the site, it is a regular UK artist website and does not involve sensitive cloud services or streaming restrictions, so it should theoretically be directly accessible from mainland China. However, Facebook links are usually not directly accessible in mainland China, so social media channels will be limited. Chinese users should have no major issue browsing the official website, but actual booking is mainly relevant to people hosting events in the UK.
