Forget 'party like Gatsby'... this is the real deal! A fresh new show featuring an international band of women who play authentic old-time music and know the history. Low-slung blues, scorching swing jazz and crossover folk hits from 1851-1933. Come discover what 'Tents, Trains and Traveling Janes' meant during this pivotal time. Wild music was created and the pioneering bandleaders were wilder still! 'Outstanding' ***** (Edinburgh49.org). ‘Vivacious stage presence’ (Herald).
