Live It Up! is a British musical film (US release title: Sing and Swing) that starred David Hemmings and was released in 1963. It was filmed at Pinewood Studios and featured musical acts from numerous contributors, including Gene Vincent, Jenny Moss, the Outlaws, Patsy Ann Noble, the Saints and Heinz Burt (most of them being produced by Joe Meek, who wrote the film's theme) among others, most notably Kenny Ball and His Jazzmen. The film also featured young actor Steve Marriott (later a well-known singer and guitarist with Small Faces and Humble Pie).[1] Another actor, Mitch Mitchell, later became the drummer of The Jimi Hendrix Experience.

The film was quite successful, so much so that two years later, actor Hemmings and director Lance Comfort followed up with a sequel titled Be My Guest.

Musical interludes[edit]
Kenny Ball and his Jazzmen, playing "Rondo" and "Hand Me Down My Walking Shoes"
Heinz, singing "Live It Up" and "Don't You Understand"
Trisha Noble (credited Patsy Ann Noble), singing "Accidents Will Happen"
Gene Vincent, singing "Tempation Baby"
Jennifer Moss, singing "Please Let It Happen To Me"
Sounds Incorporated (featuring Tony Newman), playing "Keep Moving"
The Outlaws (featuring Ritchie Blackmore, Chas Hodges, Ken Lundgren and Mick Underwood), playing "Law And Disorder"
Kim Roberts, singing "Loving Me This Way"
Andy Cavell and the Saints, singing "Don't Take You From Me"
Exceptionally, the song "Live It Up" is featured at the end of the film but is not credited because the "group" shown playing it (Hemmings and Heinz on guitars, Pike on bass and Marriott on drums) were not the actual music recording artists.

All music and lyrics were written by Joe Meek, with the exception of "Accidents Will Happen" by Norrie Paramor and Bob Barrett.
