Hot Fingers

Welcome to Our Website

Hot Fingers take you on a musical journey spanning over twenty years: starting with ragtime, moving through the red-hot jazz and low-down blues of the twenties, and into the sophisticated swing and crooners of the thirties, taking in the 'French Coffee House' sound of Django Reinhardt, comedy 'hokem', jump jive and Latin rhythms along the way. This troupe of multi-instrumentalists have played more than 1,500 gigs together over the last twenty years, and weave together the musical history of their songs along with tales of twenty years on the road working together. Spats Langham (Pasadena Roof Orchestra, Temperance Seven) has been entertaining since his teens on tenor banjo, guitar, ukulele and vocals. He is joined by Malcolm Sked (Bob Kerr's Whoopee Band, The Charleston Chasers) on tuba and double bass, and Danny Blyth on clarinets, guitar, mandolin and harmonica. From Sonny Terry & Brownie McGee to Duke Ellington, they offer a diverse range of music and song. They are joined by 'the Cotswold Canary' Emily Campbell, bringing her unique talents to the blues music of Bessie Smith, the jazz of Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday, and the gospel music of Mahalia Jackson and Sister Rosetta Tharpe. With a repertoire of several hundred songs, and an array of acoustic instruments, styles, rhythms and sounds, Hot Fingers guarantee a wonderful musical experience, whether you are looking for lively entertainment, background music for an event, or music for dancing. We can provide hot twenties Jazz (banjo, tuba/sousaphone, clarinets), gypsy jazz and swing (guitars and double bass), acoustic blues (guitars, harmonica, double bass), string band music (ukulele, mandolin, double bass, guitars) to suit your specific requirements, or left to our own devices provide a mixture of different styles masterfully blended together to suit the occasion..
