Arts Mansion presents: Winter Warmers, cosy evenings of entertainment featuring wide ranging eclectic acts to help get you in the festive spirit.
Presenting ...... Paper Moon - Live Swing Band + DJ David Zilkha swing & blues DJ
Paper Moon is a swinging, vintage inspired jazz quintet bursting with energetic swing, effortless repartee and classic tunes from the swing era and beyond.
When Singer Lucy Moon claims "It Don't Mean A Thing If You Ain't Got That Swing' she's not joking. Her sizzling quintet might all be seasoned jazzers but Paper Moon's eyes are firmly on the dance floor and if you aren't on it, Lindy Hopping yourself into exhaustion they will be seriously disappointed. They've picked some of the best-loved swing classics from the 20s to the 50s and they play them like it's yesterday. Face it - you have no excuses.
Tony Benjamin, Music Journalist - Venue
Formed in Bristol in 2011 from a love of all things swing and led from the front by captivating jazz singer Lucy Moon; Paper Moon is a swinging jazz quintet bursting with energetic swing, effortless repartee and classic tunes from the swing era. Over the last 10 years, Paper Moon have played in dance venues, festivals and jazz clubs all over the South of England and Wales and continue to delight all who dance in their path. Their sound would convince even the most determined of non-dancers to shake a toe.. possibly even a leg.
There will be an easy dance taster class just before the band, suitable for all.
