Feel like you’ve been thrown back to Prohibition times as you walk into our dimly lit jazz club to be greeted by one of the finest Harlem Swing bands out there. 52 Skidoo are a firm favourite at M&P’s, each of its members having earned a stellar reputation among audiences and fellow musicians alike.

Bringing back to life the forgotten era of the Speakeasy, Prohibition, Vaudeville, Tin Pan Alley, New York rent parties, Harlem Stride Piano and Hot Jazz 1920's band 52 Skidoo are an unlikely collection of drunks, gamblers, misfits and outlaws performing Harlem Swing, a music born out of the stride piano style made famous by James P. Johnson and Fats Waller.

Turning back the clock to play a dazzling set of vintage American music in the style for which it was written. Classic favourites like ‘Ain’t Misbehavin‘, ‘The Joint is Jumpin’ and ‘Your Feet’s Too Big'. You can also expect some popular favourites given the 52 Skidoo treatment.

Get your glad rags on and join us for an evening to be spent as Fridays should be!
