Roaring Twenties:Crazy Night at Kit Kat Club in London, 1926

Originally this movie was silent, so I added two great orchestras to make it speak.
I don't know whether they ever played at Kit Kat's, but their music is hot, great and definietely they'd have deserved the solid long term contract at such distinguished West End club... in the very middle of the Roaring Twenties.
The orchestras are:
1. Edwin J. McEnelly Orch., v.Billy Murray - What A Blue-Eyed Baby You Are, HMV 1925
2. Harold Leonard & His Waldorf Astoria Orch. - Dinah, Brunswick 1926

A wonderful trip back in time to an era I can only wish I were a part of. Great video and music. Thanks!

I don't think McEnnelly and his band ever made it out of the USA, much less the Boston area, where they were based. The same for Billy Murray. It was priceless seeing Sophie Tucker crack up in the background over "Delphine" at 3:00 - 3:06 - Apparently Tallulah Bankhead, among others is in the crowd with Sophie at around 4:30 but I couldn't really pick her out - I think there is a related newsreel of this party elsewhere that also shows Irving Berlin at this party in London.

great BBC sitcom "You rang M'lord?" (it was shoot in 1988). It takes place in London in the 1920. It starts in a year 1927 to be precise.
