Temperance Seven, "Charleston" & "Black Bottom"

[haardaarss]

correct me if I'm wrong, but I think both these tracks are running slightly fast -the giveaway being Paul McDowell's higer-pitched vocals - either that or he's wearing tight underpants.

Brilliant, just brilliant!

Fantastic Clive! Thanks for sharing!

Summat Monty Python-ish about it all...or maybe Python and the 'Seven' got it from simply being British?!!!! I believe I've got it too! Fab stuff~! Swing dancing is a big thing in Australia at the moment and I bet the Seven (magnificent?) would clean up if they were shimmying around, here, and now!

totally agree - no band has captured the spirit of the early jazz bands except these & bonzos & bob kerr! bilk barber & ball & all those so called trad bands lack the fun & invention! also i LOVE the 'englishness' of these guys! it adds so much more to the whole genre etc etc.......

Mole, these guys are really GOOD! They capture very well the feel and sound of that period much better then many bands who while good, never seem to grab the sound as these guys do. I'm never too big on vocals, I always think they get in the way, but these vocals are pretty darn good too. Thanks.

Thanks for your appreciation, they were (and still are, for me) an extremely entertaining group.
