Expect no soppy nostalgic meander down Memory Lane from this band.

The Managers play the music of Stan Kenton, Buddy Rich, Duke Ellington, Les Brown, Maynard Ferguson, Frank Sinatra and more with energy and verve.

Founded and led by twins Ben (piano) and Jay Shepherd (lead trumpet), The Managers are mainly young musicians from around the region, which possibly explains the extra energy they bring to each performance.

Tickets £8 or £6 concs (under 11s free) available online from See Tickets, WeGotTickets & Skiddle or in person from The Continental (01772 499 425) or Preston Visitor Information (01772 253 731).
