I'm off here tomorrow. Taken the afternoon off, me and Steve and S's wife (who have seen this mob before, in Cambridge) will see this free event, then for a nice lunch.

In the late 50s and early 60s, the East-End of London was home to ‘der shvitz’, the dirtiest most deliriously danceable music of all – a hallucinating mix of surf rock guitar, West Indian calypso, mambo, skiffle and Jewish folk melodies. The Yiddish Twist Orchestra revive this one-off cultural collision in an irresistible, bold and brassy musical fusion guaranteed to have us all doing the Yiddish twist


Dunno about doing the twist :)

I can't open this at work Becks. I hope it is some old Jewish guys with the big hats, frock coats, beards and sidelocks doing the twist <laugh>
