Art Deco

Saturday the 4th August

Art Deco Music brings you a variety of styles and line ups from the Art Deco age, from the late 1920s to the 1940s.
Lead by vocalist Steve Chisholm, the ArtDeco Blue five recreates the authentic sounds of the jazz and “hot” dance bands of the 20s and 30s – Bix Beiderbecke, Ray Noble, Al Bowlly, Annette Hanshaw – and the kings of swing of the 40s – Duke Ellington, the Dorsey Brothers, Glenn Miller…
And, if you favour the “New Men” – Sinatra, Torme, Bennett – or those great songs of the 50s, the ArtDeco band has an ever growing book of nostalgic ballad from the era!
