Swinging at the Cotton Club
Thursday 16 Feb – Friday 17 Feb @ Hull Truck Theatre
Take a step back into 1920s & ’30s New York City and through the doors of Harlem’s hottest nightclub, The Cotton Club! ‘Swinging at The Cotton Club’ is the action-packed show celebrating the music and dance of the Cotton Club – New York’s most celebrated nightclub of the 1920s and ‘30s.
Performances by Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Cab Calloway, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, and Fats Waller would have had the club swinging – whilst dancers such as Bojangles Robinson and the Nicholas Brothers lit up the stage with their breathtaking routines.
In the show the exhilarating dance and music of the Cotton Club is recreated by the fabulous Lindy Hop Dance Company, alongside The Harry Strutters Hot Rhythm Orchestra, featuring American vocalist Marlene Hill and compere/vocalist Megs Etherington.

Andrew Cushin
Friday 17 Feb @ Bridlington Spa
When a 21-year-old songwriter is heralded as a significant new talent by two icons of British music, it’s time to take note.
Noel Gallagher has championed the young Geordie, who’s also produced and played guitar on his track ‘Where’s My Family Gone’. Pete Doherty is similarly enamoured by Andrew’s flair for creating big anthems from songs which explore hefty social issues; first signing Andrew to his Strap Originals label and then taking him on tour with The Libertines.
