The Jive Aces, who became famous for putting Simon Cowell in “a good mood”, just received the 2018 prestigious Boisdale Music Award for Best Band presented by Jools Holland himself! Their hallmark yellow suits have appeared on many world known and world class stages from Glastonbury to the Montreux Jazz Festival, TV appearances such as the Allan Titchmarsh show, Strictly Come Dancing and Children in Need to name just a few.

The band have also worked with many of the top names in the business, including John Travolta, Van Morrison, Status Quo and Jools Holland and their recent charity single was produced by Mike Stock of Stock, Aitken and Waterman fame.

“The show also ended late, on account of the stream of encores forced upon the Aces & Dollz by a full house audience which had increased in enthusiasm with every beat.” - Mumble Music Reviews
