Back then it was Big Bands, 18 or more musicians blowing like crazy....a small band with a big band sound. The band's hot rhythm section with a stand up bass, and three fine soloists (2 guitars and a trombone) and a vocalist brings the old tunes to life in the here and now on the dance floor. The Band is: Bobby MacVeety, guitar & vocals | Roger Suters, bass | Jon Suters, guitar | Grisha Alexiev, percussion | Peter McEachern, trombone Refreshments available.
