XanaduDuo

A cocktail bar/lounge duo who specialise in songs from what used to be called the ‘Popular jazz’ or ‘Swing band’ era of the 1920s and 1930s, including numbers once performed by Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Duke Ellington, Julie London, Frank Sinatra, Fred Astaire, Nat King Cole, Bing Crosby and Al Bowlly – to name but a few.

We also perform numbers from a wide range of Broadway musicals and popular songs of the 50s and 60s as sung by Johnny Mathis, Andy Williams, Matt Munro, Barbra Streisand and others while also dipping into the soft, beautiful Brazilian jazz of that same era.

Our selections naturally include some favourites to get people singing, but we also love to unearth long-forgotten songs that really deserve to be heard once more. We’ll take you back to the days when harmonic sleight-of-hand, seductive lyrics and irresistible melody were the norm.
