About the event
The Dancing & Drinking Society (or DADS for short), is New Zealand’s premier exponent of authentic 1920s dance Jazz.
Their repertoire includes many of the 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. Although this combo has a mere 4 members, it has the impact of a full Syncopating-Orchestra, with multiple instruments being played simultaneously by multiple band members.
