A ballroom bathed in the atmosphere of the forties and fifties. Here, swing, R&B, rock and roll and related genres reign supreme. Pianist/vocalist MIKE SANCHEZ creates excitement on the dance floor and does so for the occasion together with tenor saxophonist DREW DAVIS & HIS RHYTHM COMBO. Sanchez built an impressive career over the past 40 years with the likes of The Big Town Playboys and Bill Wymans Rhythm Kings.
Before and after, VJ CHRIS BARROW sprinkles the best of his retro clip archive across the dance floor, Ol' Blue Eyes Sinatra and Pelvis Elvis included. THE RETRONETTES join him on stage from time to time to add a visual dimension.
Petticoats and quiffs recommended! In their Beauty Boudoir, the beauty queens of THE MODERNETTES will put some rouge on the cheeks and curlers in the hair.
