Bio

The Bathtub Gin Orchestra is two parts 1920s stomp, one-part early 1930s swing, and just a dash of Gypsy Jazz. Pour contents into an iron bathtub and stir with a broom handle until heady like a flapper on the good vibes of the party music of the early 20th Century. This swinging sextet comprises Phoebe Haselden (violin/vocals), Dorian Mode (piano/vocals), Morgan Haselden (guitar/vocals), Brendan Berlach (clarinet), Fiona Lugg (double Bass) and Toby Hall (on drums).
