Live 1920s and ’30s jazz and swing with the fantastic Cable Street Rag Band.

In 2018 the band released the brilliant ‘Dust’ LP.
The band variously features: Ewan Bleach on saxophones, clarinets and vocals / Lewis Taylor on trumpet and vocals / John Kelly on guitar / Joplin Parnell on piano and vocals / Joe Dessauer on drums.
