Free entry
The present 5-piece line-up came from an all-female band who played the Purcell Rooms in London. They play an impressive variety of styles, from 1930s swing to 1940s cool, with an occasional glance back to the 1920s, making over old standards with fresh arrangements, playing with panache and an obvious infectious enjoyment. The addition of Boswell Sisters type three-part harmonies are a superb feature of this band. Always something going on with 12 instruments between them, this band, led by Zoe Lambert (reeds, vocals) and Debbie Arthurs (reeds, drums, vocals), with Rachel Hayward (banjo, guitar, vibes, vocals), Jude Whitlock (bass) and Anna Menter (piano) generates plenty of energy and enthusiasm, and is well received at events throughout the country.
