Swing Shift started up in 1993 as an
informal communitygroup dedicated
to keeping the swing era classics
alive. Derrick and Wendy Milton
direted for a short period -- followed
by Murray Hunter until 2003 when the
baton passed to Monik Nordine.
Hunter returned to direct the group in
June 2010.
The band's book includes many swing era charts drawn from Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Glen Miller and Woody Herman, as well as the work of more contemporary arrangers like Sammy Nestico, Prez Prado and Hugh Fraser.
Swing Shift has played for a number of local dances on Salt Spring Island, as well as gigs on Saturna and Mayne Islands and Comox, B.C.
