The Clive Fortune Big Band (formerly Basingstoke Concert Big Band) was started in January 2009 by Clive Fortune. It has charitable status and has close connections with Basingstoke Concert Band as many of its members play in both bands.
The Band has a wide repertoire of big band classics and jazz standards including originals from the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s as well as more contemporary arrangements for big band.
