A Centenary Tribute to Gene Krupa & Benny Goodman
Saturday 2 May
7.30pm
John Petters and his Swing Band perfectly capture the style and excitement of the period with this exceptional new show.

SWING - one word that defines the music of the '30s and '40s.

SWING - a soaring clarinet riding over a pounding tom tom beat.

SWING - a gum chewing, flamboyant drummer, sticks flashing faster than the speed of light.

SWING - Jitterbugs and Lindy Hoppers leaping and jumping in frenzied excitement

SWING - was new. The first time, teenage hysteria exploded as fans bought records by the million.

SWING - Gene Krupa and Benny Goodman - the prime movers of a musical revolution.

John Petters is a solid and showy drummer... and a humourous, fluent compere of the proceedings, as well as a useful singer'.
