The Dance Band Divas-Litton's Kittens at The Concorde

A rare chance to see this celebrated retro-repertory singer featured on several of Keith Nichols’ albums. Original lead vocalist with both the Piccadilly Dance Orchestra and the Cotton Club Orchestra, tonight she is backed by a new seven piece band: Sue Greenway (reeds), Annette “Sox” Brown (trumpet), Rosie Turton (trombone), Emily O’Hara (guitar) Julie Walkington (bass), Lizzy Exell (drums) and the superb jazz piano of Martin Litton.

THE DANCEBAND DIVAS is a tribute to no less than 15 of those wonderful vintage vocalists, including Billie Holiday, Josephine Baker, Ethel Waters, Ruth Etting, Annette Hanshaw, Anne Lenner, Mildred Bailey etc...
