See Spats Langham at North Euston Hotel, Fleetwood

There's a great opportunity to see top jazz guitar / banjo player Thomas "Spats" Langham this weekend as he makes a couple of guest appearances at the North Euston Hotel East Jazz Weekend In Fleetwood.

On Friday evening 22nd April, it's Mike Lovell's Six In A Bar with Rosie playing traditional Dixieland jazz while on Saturday 23rd April, the Mike Lovell Jazz All Stars with Rosie play their own special blend of  music. Spats will be playing with the bands on each evening.

If you'd like to book up for dinner before the concert, there is a special price available of £24.99 per person on either evening, or it's just £12.50 per person for the concert only.  To book, give the North Euston Hotel a call on  01253 876525.

Spats Langham is a leading expert in the golden age of music, visiting the red-hot jazz of 1920’s New York through to the early days of sophisticated 1930’s Swing. A performance typically includes some well known classics from song-writers such as Cole Porter and Irving Berlin, and vocalists such as the Ink-Spots, Al Bowlly and Bing Crosby mixed with more unusual and rarely heard hot syncopated jazz tunes. Spats Langham has a great ear for unearthing great and unusual tunes, and was described by the late Humphrey Littleton as "a Jazz Archeologist".
