Having played extensively around the country, and often packed out Matt & Phred’s, we can’t wait to see them again. A gig with Alligator Gumbo sees jazz from the hey-day of the New Orleans swing/jazz era, when music was raw and largely improvised with melodies and solos happening simultaneously which has now become defined as the 'New Orleans' sound. As well as the band’s unique and fast-tempo treatment of the classic tunes, Alligator Gumbo take this distinctive style and apply it to their arrangements of more modern and popular songs which everyone will recognise and happily head to the dance floor upon hearing. alligatorgumbo.co.uk Line Up: James Paylor - Double Bass / Vocals Chris Williamson - Trumpet Greg Surmacz - Clarinet / Saxophone Tim Hurst - Trombone / Vocals Mike Rudland-Simpson - Steel Guitar / Vocals Chris Lloyd - Piano / Vocals Jose Williamson - Drums / Washboard, Bells, Whistles *VIP Stage-Side Tables: Here you have the best experience of the band, plus full table service. Standing audience members are kept in the bar area for Set 1; the dance floor opens for Set 2 - and you get first dibs to show off your moves!
