July 27 2008, 8pmThe Back RoomWellington Arts Centre61 Abel Smith StSongs and Tunes of the 20s and 30sThe Paradise Dance band formed to play as a “foyer focus” for a play set in 1937. Since then they have continued to develop a strong theme that reflects a 1920’s/30’s sensibility. They provide a rich background of music and song from the classy crooning of Tim “I wish I was Balkan” Barrie to the suave swing of Alan Brushes Burden’s drumming. Their music is lively, swung, and refreshing; they are equally as at home playing for concerts as weddings, parties or anything where people want to dance.

Think cranking rock 'n' roll riffs, moving into Afro-Cuban grooves, to funky beats straight out of the late James Brown's personal repertoire. From soul comes the wailing moaning blues, over to sweet Appalachian ditties, and then down to wild tunes from the dark folds of Eastern Europe. Forbidden Joe aren't your average salty old sea dogs, and they don't do weddings. They sing, harmonise, shape and deliver their music with vibrant energy. All this, from just a concertina, 'cello, and banjo. And voices. |
