Well I'm at least one of those things, and so I'm doing a new project called the River City Stompers playing trad jazz, dixieland and New Orleans music. Jolly fun it is too. We've eschewed the traditional straw boaters and waistcoat, and I've plumped more for the gentleman explorer look as you can see here. 

The project was launched in autumn 2011 and as of November 2011 we've done a few nice, if somewhat unlikely, gigs including playing inside a hospital for fireworks night, opening up for a production of Macbeth in a church crypt and for a fun party at London Fields Brewery (which makes ace beer, by the way). 

We've got a few bits and bobs coming up over the next few months, and are of course available for weddings, parties, bar mitzvahs and all your gentlemen-explorers-playing-early-jazz needs. Check out the website at www.rivercitystompers.co.uk, eh?
