The Riviera Ramblers
The Riviera Ramblers is a hot rhythm band formed and led by John Shillito on trumpet, with a line-up to facilitate a swinging ‘Hot Club’ feel. The band is returning to Plymouth Jazz Club following a highly successful debut in 2019.
Much of the band’s repertoire originates from the Swing era of the 1930s and 40s - the front line brass and reeds move harmoniously and energetically on a pulsating rhythm section that recalls Parisian ‘manouche/gypsy’ sounds of that era.The players craft their free and easy, melodic and rhythmic music with care and warmth, all the time relating to, and sharing fun with, their audiences. John and Zoe also add vocals, while the whole ensemble makes engaging listening and an enticement to dance.
The Riviera Ramblers will be performing at The Royal British Legion Club, Tailyour Road, Crownhill PL6 5DH at 7.30pm on Sunday, October 17th. Tickets can be purchased at the door, Visitors £10, Members £8 and Students £5. For more information visit www.plymouth-jazz-club.org.uk
