ALL  ABOUT 

Jazz in the head, rockabilly at heart and swing in both feet!

The Ballroom Kings started 2010, but the band's history is going back to a western swing band that was established in 1993. The repertoire offers songs of the 1940’s to 50’s that have been exported from Germany to France, Belgium and England. The ensemble provides a dynamic and full of passion distinctive style. They indulge their passion technically sovereign and perform with experienced international flair. Since 2018 the show has a focus on the sound and stories of the Berlin Air Lift (aka Operation Vittles of 1948-1949 or "BAL" in short). Long John occasionally is using the opportunity to pimp up the show with guests, e.g. The Voice of Dean Martin, Dino Crocchetta. Feel welcome to find other guests and details on the left menue, see brown box, or at Music as well as Booking, including references, print press and media podcasts and TV interview footage.
