Syd Lawrence Orchestra Society

A Greeting from the Chairman, Mick White.

Hello and welcome to the homepage of the Syd Lawrence Orchestra Society. We are an organisation run by and for supporters of the Best Band in the Land, and with over 1,500 members worldwide, we are the largest big band support society in the world.

The society actively supports the Syd Lawrence Orchestra and keeps members informed with news concerning the orchestra and its members. This is achieved through our Bi-Monthly magazine which is packed full of articles, reviews, pictures, interviews and other information about the Orchestra. Each magazine is accompanied by an up to date listing of all the concerts coming up in the following months. The society also occasionally helps out in the funding of special projects related to the orchestra – the latest of which is the website you are browsing.

The Syd Lawrence Orchestra Society holds an annual convention which is held at Britain’s only 5 star holiday resort – Potters Leisure Resort in Hopton-On-Sea, Norfolk. Members meet for 3 Days of “Big Band Heaven” with concerts, Dances and Special Events. 2010’s event is from Friday 11th June to Monday 14th June – Book now to avoid disappointment! (0845 437 9890)

The Society is run by an Executive Committee:
