“Britain’s Got Talent” stars The Jive Aces are renowned for their high energy jump jive and swing music and spectacular stage show. Suffolk Theater will present The Jive Aces in concert on Friday, March 3, at 8 p.m.

The band’s repertoire stretches from the timeless tunes of the swing era to the glitz of the Rat Pack, with a dash of rhythm and blues, swing and jazz. They feature songs made famous by such greats as Louis Prima, Cab Calloway, Benny Goodman, Bobby Darin, Louis Armstrong, Sammy Davis Jr. and Ella Fitzgerald — along with a selection of superb originals taken from their albums. An incredibly in-demand sextet, The Jive Aces have worked with John Travolta, Van Morrison, The Proclaimers, Keely Smith, Hayley Westenra and most recently played for the late Her Majesty the Queen.

The Jive Aces headlined (and sold out) the first-ever swing dance at the Royal Albert Hall and have brought the house down with their high energy stage show at thousands of festivals, theaters, dance halls and top events throughout Britain, Europe, the U.S. and beyond — over 30 countries in all. Major events include: Montreux Jazz Festival, Glastonbury Festival, Berkeley Square Ball, Ryder Cup, Cannes Film Festival, Cork Jazz Festival, Grand Order of Water Rats Annual Ball and The London Season (where they are also designated as the official band). They have also made hundreds of TV and radio appearances including, recently, a residency on BBC Radio London and TV appearances on “Louis Spence’s Showbusiness,” “Come Dine With Me” and “Good Morning Los Angeles.”

In 2012, the band were semi-finalists on “Britain’s Got Talent,” where they performed show-stopping versions of Jungle Book favorites “I Wanna Be Like You” and “Bare Necessities,” wowing judges Simon Cowell, David Walliams and Alesha Dixon, who said “You are so joyful to watch, every single one of you. That was world class.”

Their music video “Bring Me Sunshine” has become a viral hit with nearly two million views on YouTube and received seven film festival awards including the prestigious “Silver Telly Award.”

Tickets for The Jive Aces are $55 to $65 at SuffolkTheater.com. Suffolk Theater is at 118 East Main Street, Riverhead.
