Julia’s very special quartet - celebrating the raucous (and slightly naughty ) music of 1920s and 1930s
Julia Titus is perhaps best known to many fans as the leader of the music productions Ma Bessie’s Pig Foot band, but she has now produced a wonderful new show that features the music made famous during the years of prohibition in America - a time of Al Capone, illegal drinking, sex and drug deals with music sitting right in the centre of underground clubs called ’Speakeasys’. So expect the Blues, jazz and early swing music of greats like Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong, Box Beiderbecke, Ma Rainey and Cab Calloway (and many more). The lineup for this show will be Julia singing and narrating the show, clarinettist/saxophonist Clare Hirst, pianist George Webster and drummer Luke Trenwith.
