ABOUT

I am a singer who loves 1940's and 1950's music. I live and breathe these eras and am looking for male musicians of a similar age that are into this kind of music and would be interested in recreating the sound and visual style of the swing/orchestral bands of that era. Would be great to work on some classic covers from these decades, or take current songs and give them an old fashioned spin. It would also be good to work with musicians who would be keen to write new material. I have been gigging just on my lonesome trying to recreate this feel on own but I really need talented musicians on the same wave length to give this project a great impact!
This year I have also written a one woman show set in the 1940's.I performed the show at the Camden fringe festival. This link will give you information on the show and more of a flavor of what I'm about. http://vintagefashionlondon.co.uk/lets-not-forget-those-who-remember/
