Event Dressing
Think back to the roaring 20´s and there are two sides to the era: Prohibition, speakeasies, illicit gambling and gangsters epitomized by Al Capone; or think ‘all that jazz’ with the Cotton Club, Ragtime Jazz, black & white movies, flappers, feather boas and fedoras.
Roaring 20's Band - Jazz – Brighton
”So here we are, one gorgeous dame with a voice like thunder and treacle, and the rest of us, a bunch of no good, fun loving drop-outs just looking for a good time.
Anyhows, apart from our aforementioned brazen sweet-cheeked diva (and believe me she is) let me introduce you to the rest of our little mob…
On guitar, uke, kazoo and the occasional vocal we have Toothpick O’Hagan, the fastest strum this side of the windy city.
Then, riffing away on those ivories like there was only today and no tomorrow - Fingers Junior (it’s always past his bedtime!)
Oh, and that’s Stix hiding at the back, her calm exterior belying the raging passion lurking beneath her skins.
And last (but not, of course, least) my good self Squealer, slapping away at that bass fiddle. Ouch!”

Flapper Girls – Lady Greys Silent Shuffle
The guests entered down a long corridor of draped silk, pink lilies adorning every available surface, filling the air with fragrance as big band jazz wafted. From behind a drape appeared a flapper girl with a tall feather headdress, then another and another, until around the guests was a fun filled Charleston. The energy was instantly lifted as the guests had their photograph taken with Lady Grey before proceeding to a champagne reception.
After the meal and before a guest appearance of Brian Ferry, the Ladies performed their silent shuffle routine. It’s the 20s! As characters in a silent film, Lady Grey can't find their headdress! When they do, a chorus line ensues. With gorgeous choreography utilising original 20s dance moves, this routine incorporates a touch of slapstick, loads of charm and a little acrobatics!
1920s Swimmers
The 1920s styled bathers promenade inside their striped bathing huts through the streets, lifting the canvas to engage in dry land drills and life saving with passers by. These athletes of the imagination revive seaside ditties evoking the comic and poetic postcards from a golden age of bathing. This performance works primarily as a walkabout with a series of short performances from seaside songs to comic swimming routines along the way.

Chocks Away! – Falsefeet Stilt walkers

Join him as he practises his nose dives, sips tea while off duty or perfect your paper-plane making with the Hero of the Heavens.
