A
gig
held at St George's Bristol
on Tuesday 16th July. The event starts at 20:00.
Take a blustery brass front line, add a salty stride piano in the timeless image of Fats Waller, a frontwoman with the attitude and style of a 30s cabaret diva, and you’ve got The Hot Sardines. Mixing hot jazz with some gypsy swing this troupe of hotshots deliver all the classics and a few more contemporary covers with their own unique twist.
Let them transport you to the glory days of 1930s Paris via New Orleans, New York speakeasies and swinging jazz bars.
