About the Band...
"Hand clappin, foot stompin, head snappin, horn heavy music" epitomises the character of the RhumBoogie Orchestra, the most danceable swinging rhythm n' blues band in Scotland. The band was originally put together by Tenor sax player Deke McGee (ex Otis Grand), Ted McKenna (ex Alex Harvey, Womack & Womack), and blues guitar virtuoso Alan Brown. With the powerhouse vocal of Violet Leighton and New Orleans infused piano of Jack Webb, next step was to add more horns...enter Baritone sax star Stewart Carson and the rich trumpet sound of Al Douglas. With the new addition of bass man Alan Thomson (ex John Martyn), the final piece of this small "big band" was complete.
The Jump / R&B styling's that had grown out of the "big band" era are in the safe hands of these top musicians, so let the beat hit your feet and dance, dance, dance all night long to the sounds of the RhumBoogie Orchestra.
