Photo gallery: Guy Lombardo's Band Performs at Hamilton

No, it's not New Year's Eve, but Guy Lombardo's Royal Canadians brought the sound of swing to Sussex.

Band leader Guy Lombardo died more than three decades ago, but the Royal Canadians live on and continue to perform all over the world under the direction of Al Pierson.

Pierson has been the band leader for 19 years and he and the orchestra have performed in 32 countries since then.

On Saturday night, Guy Lombardo's Royal Canadians presented a concert at the Hamilton Arts Center at the high school.
