The Charleston Charlies are dedicated aficionados of the musical style of their chosen era. Their infectious, pitch-perfect renditions of those giddy, carefree ‘tweenwar hits will chaperone you on a nostalgic journey back in time … to the bandstand of The Savoy Ballroom, circa 1929.
“The Charleston Charlies’ infectious turns will vividly recreate the spirit of the Jazz Age at your event!”
Carefully crafted and crisply executed, the band’s clever arrangements breathe new life into the music of the Jazz Age. It’s an affectionate and delightful pastiche. As you listen, your fingers will itch to don your spats, top hat and tails, and your feet will whisk you out onto the dancefloor.
These guys not only sound the part – they act and dress the part too. Let me introduce you to Oscar Bernhardt (singer and trumpet), Chester Walmsley ( drums), Lord Wetherall of Chorlton (piano), Burley Martell (double bass), and Milton Colehill (sax and clarinet). Love them or laugh at them, you’ll have to dance to them! The band comes complete with a high-quality PA system, suitable for venues small and large, creating the perfect complement for a ’20s themed event.
What can I say? Strike up the band! Lets misbehave!
