perb rhythm section of Craig Miverton—piano, Tony Mann—Bass and Colin Larn— drums.

They are happy to adapt any tune that they feel would fit in their repertoire,

Des Bacon's Red Hot Syncopators Des’ arrangements of classic 1920s and '30s jazz and popular music have made the Synco-pators very special. Every band member is an enthusiast too, so every note that's played and sung is absolutely period-correct. The band perfectly expresses the wide range of style and sentiment within the genre, and the addition of authentic vocalist Ed Hughes com-plements a superb combination of the sweet, the hot, the well-remembered and the seldom-recalled. A rare treat.

Now in its 43rd year the band is as popular as ever. Al-though there have been various changes of personnel
