The Correspondents (band)

The Correspondents were a British electro swing duo based in London, formed by vocalist and MC Mr. Bruce and producer Tim Cole in 2007.

Their music has been described as electro swing with a mixture of early 20th century jazz and electro and drum and bass. Their live shows and recorded music consisted of multi-genre dance music spanning blues, jazz, soul, funk and out and out electro pop.

The band played at major festivals such as WOMAD, Glastonbury, Bestival, Boomtown and Secret Garden Party.

Their song "Fear and Delight" was used as the theme tune to BBC Three comedy Crims.

The project was retired on 20 October 2020 after Bruce published a status on The Correspondents' Facebook page stating that Cole had died unexpectedly of a pulmonary embolism a few days prior.

Awards and recognition
The band was included in The Telegraph's top 10 Glastonbury highlights two years in a row and has also been featured in Rob da Bank's 2-hour Electro Swing Special on BBC Radio 1.

The music video to their single "Fear & Delight", directed by Naren Wilks, was the overall winner of Berlin Music Video Awards 2014, while it also won the award for "Best VFX" category.
