Piccadilly Dance Orchestra,and has also appeared at Snape,fronting his own band featuring the music of Jelly Roll Morton.
Martin now comes to us with the numbers from the years of ragtime,of Scott Joplin
”The Entertainer”era,through the 1920s of Jelly Roll Morton and early Louis Armstrong,to the exuberance and “Aint Misbehavin” of 1930s Fats Waller.
The band comprises eight great musicians steeped in the feeling and rhythms
of those days,and will not disappoint those expecting a foot-tapping show of well remembered numbers.

TOO MUCH PUnCH FOR JUDY
15Tickets: 01394 615 015
Featuring: Pyramus and Thisbe Die for Love, The Musical
A new musical version of Shakespeare’s play, containing language you can actually understand,
snatches of popular songs sung slightly out of key and local settings that will add a novel and
thrilling note of topicality to the performance.
What if the two completely imaginary Heads of Woodbridge School and Farlingaye were to
wed? And some of the students decided to prepare a play in honour of their nuptials?
And there was intrigue in the Classics Department and the Head of Department’s daughter
didn’t want to marry her father’s choice? And what if her father’s choice had been secretly
wooing the Bursar’s daughter?
And what if Sutton Hoo was a hotbed of fairy activity?
