Their style derives from the pre-depression era covering classic and revivalist jazz, spirituals, blues, and ragtime. Their jazz reflects formative artists such as Armstrong, Morton; Waller and the like. A good natured delivery and guest appearances by touring traditional jazz and blues musicians have helped develop a solid regular following that makes each performance a social event.
In New Orleans they were awarded the Freedom of the City. They have toured North Germany twice, and have been featured at France's prestigious Marciac Jazz Festival. They have also represented Canada at the Edinburgh International Jazz Festival in Scotland and enjoyed Caribbean jazz cruises with their fans. In July 2009 they played the Whitley Bay Festival in Northern England and the Maribo Festival in Denmark. Their matinee line-up is usually Bryan Day - string bass; Andrej Saradin - cornet; Janet Shaw - reeds; Jamie Macpherson - banjo; Brian Towers - trombone/ldr and Reide Kaiser - piano.
