About the event
The Dancing & Drinking Society (or DADS for short), is New Zealand’s premier exponent of authentic 1920s dance Jazz. Rags, Rambles, Shuffles, Drags and Blues that our great grandparents would have shimmied to in the juke joints, speakeasies, woolsheds and Memorial Halls of 1920s New Zealand. With a mere four members, it has the impact of a full Syncopating-Orchestra, with multiple instruments being played simultaneously.
• Blair 'Sweet Lips' Latham: Saxophone and clarinet.
• Mat ‘Mon Colonel’ Enright: Trumpet, Resonator Guitar, Vocals, also with Newtown Rocksteady.
• Jeremy 'Acoustic Bike' Desmond: Banjo.
• Daniel ‘Pappy’ Yeabsley: Tuba, Hi-Hat - Twinset, The Black Seeds, and Fat Freddys Drop.
