About this event
Live 1920s and ’30s jazz and swing, also celebrating band-leader Ewan Bleach’s birthday with a special late-night jam! At Limehouse de Reverie our resident players are Ewan Bleach’s Cable Street Rag Band. As the name suggests, they are a band that formed at the Cable Street studios in Limehouse who play Rags. But that is not all. This is a old-style jazz band that also plays blues, song-book foxtrots and swing numbers along with other dance music from around the world, including waltzes, beguines, tangos and the odd polkas, All of their repertoire dates from the 1850s-1940s. In 2018 the band released the brilliant ‘Dust’ LP. The band variously features: Ewan Bleach on saxophones, clarinets and vocals / Lewis Taylor on trumpet and vocals / John Kelly on guitar / Joplin Parnell on piano and vocals / Joe Dessauer on drums. And before the concert each week, running from 7pm to 8pm, Lesta Woo presents her swing dance class. This is a drop-in, open level class with no prior experience required! Just turn up, put £5 in the hat, and have a go! Jamboree food option : Our ‘Zer’ kitchen is open from 5pm serving delicious Middle Eastern fusion food for you to enjoy a pre-gig meal/snack if you wish! Find the menu HERE ! JAMBOREE IN ACTION! Join us for a wonderful night of live jazz and swing music in London!
