Spats Langham & Hot Fingers return to Dorset
MusicPerformance
Artsreach favourites Hot Fingers, led by the inimitable ‘Spats’ Langham, are heading back to Dorset this November for a three-night tour with the county’s touring arts charity.
“a wonderful evening of nostalgia from the more relaxed, vintage years of jazz”
Hot Fingers Frontman Tom ‘Spats’ Langham has been entertaining since his teens on tenor banjo, guitar, ukulele and vocals, and has performed with such notables as The Pasadena Roof Orchestra, The Temperance Seven and Acker Bilk. Malcolm Sked, on tuba, sousaphone and double-bass, has toured the world with Bob Kerr’s Whoopee Band and The Charleston Chasers. Together with stunning vocalist Emily Campbell and multi-instrumentalist Danny Blyth on clarinets, guitar, mandolin and harmonica, Hot Fingers regularly sell-out venues up and down the UK.
Expect an eclectic mix of vintage acoustic music, from the red hot jazz of 1920’s New York and sophisticated 1930’s Swing, to the king of gypsy swing Django Reinhardt, the blues guitars of Eddie Lang and Lonnie Johnson, and the syncopated Latin rhythms of Argentinean Oscar Aleman; from hot jazz, country blues, gypsy swing, novelty foxtrots, gospel and more, early booking is strongly advised!
