Let’s get the retro vibes going at Matt & Phred’s!
Join us and the fantastic Gelatos for a night all about the 1940’s and 1950’s. Get yourself dressed up in the style of the time: lads, get your suits on and your hair slicked back. Ladies, get your favourite and prettiest dresses on, and go for it with your makeup and hair - trust us, you’ll love it!
As well as the band playing superb music from the 40’s and 50’s, there will be a special cocktail menu inspired by the era, as well as night-long dancing help from the one and only GI Jive. Not only that, there will be prizes for those who have committed most to the 40’s/50’s look AND for the best Swing dancers…
The band:
The Gelatos are a high-energy, all-singing Jazz quartet playing the all-time classic songs of the 40’s and 50’s with an Italian twist. The 4-piece ensemble never fails to put a smile on every audience member’s face as they play their masterful mix of tunes guaranteed to get you dancing in your seat. Playing favourites from the likes of Louis Prima, Benny Goodman, and Count Basie to name but a few, The Gelatos stunning musicianship and witty showmanship is sure to make your Saturday night count.
From beautiful, laid back slow and more romantic numbers all the way through to high-tempo, quick-stepping jump jives, The Gelatos are a truly electric and fun collection of musicians who will take you on an unforgettable journey through the music of the time period.
