The Jive Aces

After several years of touring the band with various other musicians, the four met Alex Douglas (trombone, bongos, blues harp, washboard) and Vince Hurley (piano) who became permanent members.

[21] In late August 2010, the Jive Aces performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in a show tributing one of their musical heroes, Louis Prima.

[22] In February 2011, after recording in Los Angeles, they toured the United States, including opening for legendary singer Keely Smith, the former wife of Louis Prima.

[23] Keely Smith has also sung with the band on a number of occasions, including shows in Los Angeles, Palm Desert,[24] Phoenix[25] and at the Edinburgh Fringe.

The show, featuring special guests Cassidy Janson, BBC Radio London's Jo Good, The Satin Dollz, Antonio Socci and Lottie B, was sold out and received standing ovations.

In March 2011, the band produced a YouTube video for their cover of the Morecambe and Wise theme song "Bring Me Sunshine", in a Louis Prima, jive style.

On 15 May 2012 the Jive Aces performed for HM the Queen & HRH Prince Philip on their visit to Bromley as part of her majesty's Diamond Jubilee celebrations.

in Spring 2019 the band launched its "Jive Aces Big Beat Revue" tour, with a sold-out show at London's Aldwych Theatre.

On 1 June 2015, the band released their ninth studio album Spread a Little Happiness, featuring the single "La Dolce Vita",[92] "Smile", "L.O.V.E" and nine other tracks including five original songs.

Over the years it has featured many well known jazz and roots performers including Keely Smith,[100] Cassidy Janson,[101] Kenny Ball,[102] Acker Bilk, Laurie London, Chas McDevitt, Gunhild Carling, Gina Haley[103] and Ray Gelato.

[105] The Jive Aces have featured many guest artists on their recordings, including Chick Corea, Kenny Ball,[106] Mark Isham, Ray Gelato,[107] Mr Acker Bilk, Toni Elizabeth Prima, The Satin Dollz, The Flirtinis, Rebecca Grant,[108] and The Three Belles.

On 17 March 2020, one week prior to the Coronavirus lockdown, The Jive Aces started a one-hour daily livestream on Facebook to keep in contact with their fans while unable to perform live.

[120][121] This show rapidly developed from a simple iPhone broadcast early on to a fully professional set up with high quality camera with multiple cameras and regular sections of the show such as "Celebrity Call-in" (featuring the likes of Len Goodman, Kevin J McNally, Cassidy Janson, Ray Gelato and Diane Keen), "Italian Time" (featuring resident Italian Grazia with dedications and more), "Favourite Things" (asking viewers to send in their positive experiences with the lockdown) and "Competition Time".

Friends such as Cassidy Janson, Ray Gelato, Gina Haley, Gunhild Carling and Peter Donegan contributed live performances and helped raise hundreds of pounds for The Not Forgotten, one of the band's favorite charities.

[122] The show was expected to run for three weeks, but on 16 March 2021 the Jive Aces celebrated a full year of the JiveStream after racking up 365 consecutive episodes.

[150] The half hour show uses vintage footage, interviews, and performance clips to tell the tale of the Jive Aces's rise from street entertainers to headlining at major festivals and events around the world and the story behind their commitment to drug prevention.
