The Man Overboard Quintet adds its own stamp to a repertoire of tunes made famous by the likes of Billie Holiday, Django Reinhardt, the Mills Brothers, Duke Ellington and Fats Waller. The chemistry between these superb musicians and their audience makes every performance a magical occasion.
The Man Overboard Quintet was featured in BBC3’s Being Human and has appeared several times on BBC Radio 3’s In Tune. They recorded their first album in September 2012 at Champs Hill studios, releasing it in July 2013. Their second album, Down in the Deep, Deep Blue, was also recorded at Champs Hill and was released in August 2015.
Expect an evening of hot swing, torch songs, raw blues and more hot swing.
