The Speakeasy Revival Orchestra
Combining the finest jazz musicianship with humour
and a devilish flair, this fantastic Sussex-based ensemble
performs jazz music with energy, finesse, and an extra comedy twist.
A magnificent seven-piece band of experienced professional musicians
who play swing, jazz, and contemporary music, along with original tunes, all in their own inimitable jazz style,
with influences including Spike Jones & his City Slickers, Fletcher Henderson, the Mnozil Brass,
Monty Python's Flying Circus, and the Electro Swing Post Modern Jukebox movement.
On top of that, this exciting show-band can add entertainment in a special way
with a comedy performance which may include hats, puppets, barbershop singing,
balloons and loud bangs. What can go wrong?!
