Roger Chinery (Band Leader, image to the right, more images here ) Since forming in 1999, the Galaxy Big Band has surged onto the big band scene attracting some of the most accomplished musicians in East Anglia to comprise its 18 piece line-up of saxophones, brass and rhythm. The entertaining and talented Roger Chinery leads the Band as well as playing some wonderful trumpet solos. Treading in the footsteps of the great big bands of the 1940s, the Galaxy Big Band has established an enviable reputation for swing music, jive and jazz.

The Band has a solid and stable membership of 17 members, plus its accomplished resident vocalists Val Sinclair and Martin Leigh - both have a sense of rhythm that really swings, great voices that lift the whole band and personalities that connect every time with the audience.
