About
The Society Syncopators
Formed in 2014, The Society Syncopators Dance Orchestra are an 11 piece band specialising in both British and American dance music from the 1920s and early ’30s.
The music of Duke Ellington, Fletcher Henderson, Ray Noble, Jack Payne, Ted Weems, Bennie Moten, Ben Sevin and many others are represented within the band’s varied repertoire.
From the hot rhythms heard in the The Cotton Club, and the excitement of the swing period that was burgeoning in the early 1930s; through to the sweet and hot sounds of the British dance halls, this is a real treat for music lovers and swing dancers alike....
