About this Act
52 Skidoo are a three piece Harlem swing band that have turned back the clock to play a dazzling set of vintage American music. Classic favourites like 'Ain't Misbehavin', 'The Joint is Jumpin'; and 'Your Feet's Too Big' are carefully woven into well known hits like 'Jeepers Creepers', & 'Darktown Strutters Ball' and 'I Ain't Got Nobody' to create an authentic 1920/30's Harlem party atmosphere.
They bring back to life the forgotten era of prohibition, speakeasys, vaudeville, tin pan alley, rent parties, stride piano, Fats Waller and hot jazz. take a look at the video (the link is up to the right) for an idea of what to expect.
