‘An encyclopaedic introduction to the fascinating and often forgotten creators of Anglo-American hit music in the first half of the Twentieth Century.’ Neil Tennant
‘An essential work – one that should be an integral component of any serious music lover’s library. Let’s Do It is the definitive story of pre-rock ‘n’ roll.’ Adelle Stripe
‘I know a lot about popular music. I didn’t know half of this.’ David Hepworth
This will be followed by more live music at the Caroline Club’s regular jazz night.
