The Savoy Hotel's 11-piece resident orchestra authentically performing and recording dance music from the 1920s & 1930s.
Formed under the youthful direction of Alex Mendham, this 11-piece Orchestra authentically performs and records period dance band music from the Art Deco era but with a modern energy that only comes from younger musicians.
The passion the Orchestra has for this music is what keeps them together. No corner is cut when it comes to preserving the music: from their vintage instruments to the pomade that slicks their hair, no detail is overlooked. Add to that their youthful enthusiasm and you have a unique combination that is wowing their growing band of followers.
From its formation, the Orchestra has maintained an active working schedule: from entertaining patrons of The Dover Street Arts Club and audiences at the Royal Festival Hall, from London's St Pancras Station to the world famous Tower Ballroom in Blackpool.
