Tonight, Thursday, is the penultimate reheasal for the SSBB and Scarlet Street, so I thought I would pop in for a listen, and to give the readers of BSH a bit of a heads up on the forthcoming event at Hoochie Coochie this Sunday… Strike Up The Band what a gig this will be!
Tonight, Thursday, is the penultimate reheasal for the SSBB and Scarlet Street, so I thought I would pop in for a listen, and to give the readers of BSH a bit of a heads up on the forthcoming event at Hoochie Coochie this Sunday… Strike Up The Band what a gig this will be!
So what can you expect this coming Sunday….
A Pandora’s Box of Delights for a discerning audience…. Military precision drumming from the fabulous Dave McKeague driving the rhythm section, occasional deps and the usual suspects front-lining the horn section. The delightful, exquisite, Alice Grace, who, having had a few days of silence (no voice at all!) is once again in fine voice and of course the soulful sounds of the one and only… Freeze.
In addition to this we also have a bundle of delight, (and hopefully not a bundle of joy… yet - Jen’s baby is due in just 5 weeks) from the spectacular Scarlet Street, delicious harmonies, and sweet treats that took me back to the musical films of my childhood reminders of the Glenn Miller Story and wartime numbers from the Andrews Sisters… I shan’t be a bad apple and spoil it for you, although at the end of International Science Week maybe a vague reference to Newton’s Law of Gravity isn’t out of place… but honestly… I just can’t wait! Oh yeah… and a couple of surprises too!
So if you want three fabulous sets of magnificent Big Band Music to dance along to … about 30 tunes… with incredible vocals interspersed with a few new numbers from the big band then you really do not want to miss this one! Be there or be square!
