The Cable Street Rag Band

At Limehouse de Reverie Ewan Bleach performs with residents The Cable Street Rag Band. As the name suggests, they are a band that formed at the Cable Street studios in Limehouse who play Rags. This old-style jazz band also plays blues, song-book foxtrots, and swing numbers along with occasional dance music from around the world including waltzes, beguines, tangos, and polkas. All of their repertoire dates from the 1850s to the 1940s. The group's music embraces the style of Django Reinhardt while drawing on influences from the wider Manouche tradition and Eastern European and Klezmer styles. They also perform classic swing hits from the likes of the legendary Barry Sisters among others.
