Old Chaps filmed at Fest Jazz, July, 2016, for Jazz&Jazz:
Somewhere a little while back, on your site Peter, Pete Lay said that ” if we were to try and get young people into our jazz clubs maybe promoters would have to take the gamble” (or similar). Well, my gamble, using ‘Deco Delight’, who have set out to play the 20’s to 40’s style enjoyed by the Lindy swing dancers, was an encouraging start. Ten proficient dancers, from Lancaster Lindy Circle, came along and thoroughly enjoyed dancing to live music. What’s more, the ‘door exit poll’ showed that the audience not only enjoyed the band, but appreciated the skill and charm of the dancers ! We now look forward to the visit of the young ‘Old Chaps’ from France, with confidence. This band knows what the young dance movement want, after all, they do play to the French kids on a regular basis. It’s looking like a band you have highlighted on your site, the ‘Old Hat Jazz Band’ could be our next. Do keep up your efforts on promoting the young hot jazz bands. We have one in Yorkshire making waves, ‘Louis Louis Louis’. and perhaps you could do well to have look at them. Best Norman
Will do, Norman, as and when.
