The NRO played its first season back in 1985 led by bandleader, Nick Ross and have been touring audiences across the UK and beyond ever since. This 16-piece big band features some of the finest musicians in the UK along with guest singers which have included Sam Merrick, Georgina Jackson & Matthew Ford. With records released in 2008 (My Favourite Things) and 2011 (Jeepers Creepers) respectively, the NRO have recently released their third album, 'Sounds of the Glenn Miller Era' (2020), recorded at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London featuring vocalist, Sam Merrick. Recapture the sounds and memories of a bygone era as the Nick Ross Orchestra present an unmissable evening of music and song, the classic Big Band Sound of the Glenn Miller Era. With a line-up of saxophones, trumpets, trombones, a rhythm section and singers, the Nick Ross Orchestra faithfully recreate the Big Band sound of the '40s & '50s. The NRO Library features hits from Glenn Miller, Count Basie, Tommy Dorsey, Ted Heath, Artie Shaw, Woody Herman, Les Brown, Benny Goodman, Ray Noble, and Stan Kenton among others.... and our repertoire would not be complete without reference to the songbook of Frank Sinatra.
