Edinburgh Fringe Reviews

Official reviews

“The Ambassadors of Swing snag five stars for Jason Isaacs’ sheer command of the audience. Make room Edinburgh, here comes another star!”
Annie Cassidy, The Edinburgh Festival Magazine.

“Jason Isaacs is the focal and vocal point of this classy Big Band show. A seriously high-kicking, self-deprecating, daft-dancing and notably big-voiced singer with loads of presence and a lot of lip.”
Rob Adams, The Herald

“The thirteen piece Dave Connolly Big Band certainly kicked things off with real gusto… and the enjoyment spread through the crowd when Jason Isaacs joined the stage. Isaacs made it clear that this was a set designed to entertain, brimming with swing classics like ‘New York, New York’, a sprinkling of Elvis and even his own version of ‘Wonderwall’. Watch out, because Isaac’s classy voice, supported by this top band, means swing is definitely back in town.”
Harley Hammond, Three weeks online publication, Edinburgh.
