These chaps were top-drawer... before they mysteriously disappeared during an unsanctioned experiment into telekinetic time travel! Serendipitously, the entire Pop Swings line-up was safely conveyed to the twenty-first century, re-emerging with that same hedonistic boom.
Striking out with hotsy-totsy, modern vigour, they elegantly escort carnivals of wild, youthful creatures into the decade of excess and innovation. Their contagious zeal bewitches even the most unwilling wallflower, rekindling the spirit of the Ritz and champagne fizz of the flappers. An esteemed musical fraternity, they proffer the hottest modern hits with precision and humour, ushering in 20s style with gentrified contemporary pop. Towering above the dance hall assembly, celebrity socialite Lord Acton and his roaring band, Pop Swings, exemplify the eccentricity and sparkle of 1920s British style and rhythm.
Line-up: Guitar/Vocals, Clarinet/Vocals, Tenor Saxophone, Double Bass, Drums and Percussion.
