The Vintage Hot Five At The Terminus Eastbourne

The Vintage Hot Five have started a regular fortnightly spot at the Terminus in Eastbourne.

Now a bit about the band themselves, and who better than Johnny Muxlow (drums, Vintage Hot Five) to explain...

This is the Vintage Hot Five's first appearance at the Terminus. The band was formed in 1993, partly with a view to performing the lesser known and neglected "pop" tunes of the 1920s and 1930s, but also any other number which took our fancy as well. Hence a thankfully non-existent musical policy, which embraces a repertoire of 773 tunes (as at last Friday - it may have gone up since then!) but at the same time saves is from being drearily hidebound by any particular jazz "style" or "genre". We play what we want to play, the only band rule being that we have fun while doing so, which - as an overgrown schoolboy myself - semms to me an admirable philosophy. (If at 5' 6.5, I can truly describe myself as overgrown.) - Johnny Muxlow (drums, Vintage Hot Five).

Here are a few snaps of the night.
