Speakeasy Bootleg Band are purveyors of the "Finest Quality Bootleg Music Since Records Began.... Distilled & Bottled in New York and Chicago", but consumed wherever finer things are appreciated. Firm favourites of M&P audiences, Speakeasy Bootleg Band play a heady mix of Jazz, Jive and Harlem swing; the vintage sounds of the Cotton Club and Birdland. A first-rate combination of irresistible brass, powerful bass, explosive drums and sophisticated witty vocals to make your Saturday night a hugely fun affair.
This is the music of Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Louis Jordan, Cab Calloway, Billie Holliday, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, Art Blakey and Count Basie, with a bit of stylish Rat Pack thrown in for good measure, the retro tunes which drove Tin Pan Alley and created the Great American Songbook.
With the members of the band having an abundance of musical experience, you can truly sit back and appreciate just how spectacular a performance Speakeasy Bootleg Band bring to the stage. Not only masters of their repertoire, but hugely entertaining showmen sure to keep the smile on your face in between songs. Feel like you’ve been thrown back to the times of prohibition as you enter our dimly lit Jazz club with one of the finest Jazz and Swing bands around filling the space with their mesmerising sound.
The line up: Nick Branton (reeds), Phil Lucas (trumpet, vocals), Jeff Lewis (trombone, vocals), Andy Hulme (guitar), Alan Jeffs (bass), Jab Butters (drums).
*VIP Stage-Side Tables: Here you have the best experience of the band, plus full table service. Standing audience members are kept in the bar area for Set 1; the dance floor opens for Set 2 - and you get first dibs to show off your moves!
