RIBFEST 2010 saw ‘The Swans’ performing on the same main stage bill when they performed as Special Guest to Seth Lakeman – delivering a knock-out performance that warmed the cockles of the festival goers amid the May chilly evening air. November 2010 saw the band feature Marco Mendoza in a special show at London Olympia. Marco is well known for his work with Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake, John Sykes and Neil Schon. The gig was a stunning success. ‘2011 then saw ‘The Swans’ also played a red hot set with ‘bass ace’ TM Stevens (Steve Vai, Tina Turner, The Pretenders,) on the main stage of The London Bass Guitar Show. Performing to a capacity audience, the band played a show stopping set with some 2000 people in attendance at LBGS. Following a run of live radio sessions, the band went on to play a number of summer festivals including special acoustic sets for the Burnham Folk Fest and the Acoustic Festival of Britain in May alongside Hayseed Dixie – the masters of high energy bluegrass. Other festivals included the playing mainstage slots at RIBFEST and the Cambridge Rock Festival. 2011 also saw Swans In Flight perform as Special Guests to the legendary, Doctor Feelgood on the Isle of Wight and they then enjoyed the same billing when they rocked the 2000 capacity crowd at The Regal Theatre, Ipswich for Thin Lizzy.
