Resident dance band leader Alex Mendham talks about the world famous Savoy dinner & dance and how his Orchestra keeps the tradition alive. www.alexmendham.com
This is so lovely! GREAT interview!! Born 1956, even growing up, I was always entertained by Fred Astaire movies and others in that Era. Even to this day, I prefer music and movies of the 1920s, 1930s, and some 1940s. So glad that this young man has been inspired to recreate and entertain with this music. Have visited his website and actually purchased one of his CDs which he signed!! Yes! I am that type of fan! 😍 Planning to order more and to continue sharing his videos. Palm Sunday blessings to all!
Fantastic that Mr Mendham keeps the tradion up in its original form! But the sound quality in the interview was not so good. To much background noise and it seems that the microphone (seen in the picture) was placed behind (!) Mr Mendham. But perhaps the sound was picked up by a camera-microphone.

Authentic era sound ! Im in love ! I love it because it's not just a nowaday version of the 1920s it's the authentic 1920s ❤️❤️❤️

Everything!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Excellent Alex, well done! Do you know of Andy Leggett and his large collection of (complete) vintage dance band charts???
Great music! I wish I was around back then. I hate rock!
