Very Very Vintage is the name of the third show in this new monthly series entitled Classical Hour – produced by local resident Nick Cotterell, it’s an homage to the dance orchestras and bands that kept our parents and grandparents up at night in the middle of the last century. Nick comments: “I’ll be playing jazz and nostalgia from 1927 onwards, with a particular emphasis on the dance bands of the 1930s.”

Have a listen – it’s so much fun!
