About this user
DJ Chuckles and Mr Bruce are The Correspondents. This veteran duo play swing with a contemporary twist; the Big Band sound of the 20s and 30s is revamped for the 21st Century.
Chuckles is the music maker, a highly skilled producer who is difficult to pigeon hole. His tracks are lyrical and jazzy yet they bounce like hip hop, they are intricate yet his tunes are woven together with a pervading humour.
His talent as a producer is matched by his agility as a DJ. He has an uncanny ability to judge a crowd and make them jive laying down a history of upbeat swing from Benny Goodman to Jurassic 5.
Mr Bruce is a modern day dandy whose singing (and dancing) is equally difficult to categorise. Despite growing up on a diet of jungle and drum'n'bass, he is an eloquent MC who scats and sings like a cabaret compère about clowns, rogues and two tone brogues.
And for our live shows, Guy Bingley ransacks the silent movie era to produce a syncopated visual display that will both fascinate and amuse.
