About

We play Vintage, Rock ‘n Roll, Blues, Rockabilly, Retro Swing & Postmodern. The band was formed in 2015 by the Ex Mint Royale guitarist Chris Thorn.

A Vintage 1950’s R&B, RocknRoll, Blues, Rockabilly, and Retro Swing Band!

A musical force that transports audiences back to the golden era of the 1940s and 1950s. Led by the captivating vintage singer, the band offers a powerfully electric performance that ignites the stage with their authentic and soulful renditions of classic hits.

The band’s main lineup comprises a talented ensemble, including a skilled double bassist, a masterful saxophonist, a grooving drummer, and a versatile guitarist. Their combined energy and enthusiasm bring a unique flavour to their musical projects, creating a dynamic sound that captures the essence of the era.

The style, sound and theme of the band is authentic for that era and will get people Jivin, Strollin & Boppin!

We hired them to play at our wedding in September and they were amazing.

They put on a great show, adding our first dance into their set list and contributed to a great evening atmosphere at the wedding.

We know that our guests really enjoyed their performance and some have already recommended them to others. Dan and Hannah

You guys were great both in performance and to deal with.

I particularly appreciate you coming to view the space a few months ago.

I have put you on my recommended suppliers list and will definitely tell other couples about you.

Having never booked for live music before, I was not quite sure how it was going to pan out, but the musician played the songs as requested, he was fantastic and worth every penny. Thank you so much for making it so easy to find such a superb musician.
