kept the swing classics of Miller, Goodman, Basie, etc alive in the
Cobourg area through its own regular series of dances, and playing at other
balls throughout
With its present vocalist Tanya Wills, it also specializes in performing the great ballads of the likes of Gershwin, Porter, Berlin etc. The band adds a touch of class to special
event balls and can be booked by calling:Bill Crawford at 905-372-0644. The regular series of dances featuring “The
Royals” take place at the Royal Candian Legion Hall, Orr St. Cobourg.
