21:00 – 22:20: Speakeasy
A throwback to the hedonistic age of Prohibition, underground gin clubs and flappers of the 1920s and 30s, Speakeasy started off as a straight-up, traditional 9-piece swing band – but in developing their act for London’s prestigious The Arts Club, they quickly evolved into an ‘electro-swing’ band, skillfully weaving in elements of electronica and dance music to give vintage songs a fresh, modern makeover – and modern day songs the vintage treatment. With big horns and a varied setlist that ranges from old swing classics like Jump, Jive & Wail and Minnie the Moocher to retro-inspired modern hits like We No Speak Americano, Speakeasy are a nod to the pass with a thoroughly 21st century twist
22:20 – 01:00: DJ James
DJ James’ music taste and knowledge is vast, electric and commercial, enabling him to tailor each set list to the crowd and venue. Spanning through the eras, he is able to play everything from pop, rock, disco, RnB, dance and electro-swing.
