Yes, it really is 20 years since we played our first concert at Gateshead's Caedmon Hall, ambitiously titled "From Scott Joplin to Duke Ellington", where we were joined by Birmingham's Nick Ward, one of the finest vintage-style drummers in the country, and the following year by Keith Nichols, master of ragtime and stride piano. Since then we've developed a reputation for both musical authenticity and entertaining presentation from larger-than-life (and getting larger) saxophone star Steve Andrews. Keith and Nick will both be joining us for our anniversary concert on Friday 9th February, along with our very own Caroline on vocals. So if you like ragtime, jazz and hot dance music from the 1920s and 1930s, this is a night not to miss!
