The Fallen Heroes
Entry Requirements: Under 18s to be accompanied by an appropriate adult
Following the success of their recent CD, A Brief Period Of Rejoicing, The Fallen Heroes will be showcasing songs from the new album as well as playing some old favourites. Expect to hear an interesting mix of originals plus some hot rhythm amd blues, swinging jazz and a dash of ska, including numbers from Ray Charles, Fats Domino and Chuck Berry, all influenced by the music of New Orleans where band leaders Emile and Ben Martyn grew albeit infused with their own current, more contemporary sound. Brothers Ben (Vocals and Double Bass) and Emile Martyn, (Drums and backing vocals) started their musical career in New Orleans, leading to extensive contact with local legends such as George Lewis, John Handy and Harold Dejan of the world-famous Olympia Brass Band. Returning to Europe they formed their own band playing New Orleans music but with a twist, writing original compositions in a funky New Orleans manner but playing in a more up to date, modern London style.
