David's Northern Swing

In the sequel to one of the most successful local recordings of the past year, David Campbell is back and swinging harder than ever with Swing Sessions 2.

He’s also about to swing his way to Queensland for a series of live shows.

So grab a partner, loosen up the tie, take off those heels and join David Campbell as he delivers a sizzling new set of classics on this special record.

The original Swing Sessions proved a national phenomenon – and the highest-selling album of David’s career – with local sales topping the 120,000 mark.

But that’s only half of the swing story. Out on the road, David’s hugely popular Swing Sessions tour has blown thousands of fans away.

Just recently back from a sold-out national tour, David and his big band have been playing to packed rooms right across the map, with audiences of 1000 to 2000 each night.

It was the ever-expanding set-list from these live shows that provided David and his musical director Chong Lim with the backbone for Swing Sessions 2.

Timeless classics such as One For My Baby, Just A Gigolo/I Ain’t Nobody, Begin The Beguine and a smoking Mel Torme-inspired take on Route 66 have all been hits from David’s performances.

David Campbell brings his Swing Sessions tour to Brothers Leagues Club on Sunday, May 18. To book phone 4053 1053.
