Live 1920s and ’30s jazz and swing!

At Limehouse de Reverie our resident players are Ewan Bleach’s Cable Street Rag Band. As the name suggests, they are a band that formed at the Cable Street studios in Limehouse who play Rags. But that is not all. This is a old-style jazz band that also plays blues, song-book foxtrots and swing numbers along with other dance music from around the world, including waltzes, beguines, tangos and the odd polkas. All of their repertoire dates from the 1850s-1940s. In 2018 the band released the brilliant ‘Dust’ LP. The band variously features: Ewan Bleach on saxophones, clarinets and vocals / Lewis Taylor on trumpet and vocals / John Kelly on guitar / Joplin Parnell on piano and vocals / Joe Dessauer on drums.
