About this concert
It's hard to believe but in 2024 the Pasadena Roof Orchestra will be celebrating 55 years of touring playing live music from the 1920s and 1930s.
Mr. Armstrong was landing on the moon, the Beatles were breaking up, and Mr. John Arthy the Orchestra's founder discovered a treasure trove of original music arrangements in an attic in Manchester.
The Orchestra became a household name in the 70s with appearances on all major TV channels and tours throughout the UK and Europe.
The recipe for longevity is quite simple... staying true to the original sounds that were produced nightly by the resident bands in some of the first class hotels pre-war in the jazz clubs of New York and beyond .
Their show involves lovingly recreated orchestrations of melodies from the great American Songbook composers such as Irving Berlin and George Gershwin. Also represented are hot tunes from the likes of Duke Ellington and Fletcher Henderson as well as some classic British dance band arrangements from Ray Noble and Lew Stone. The show is hosted by vocalist and band leader Duncan Galloway, never short of an anecdote or two and some great 'British' humour.
The Pasadena Roof Orchestra, still going after 55 years!

A splendid evening's entertainment, as always. Particularly pleased that the set list was predominantly 1920s and my two favourites were played. The musicians all seemed to be really enjoying themselves and the audience was very friendly and appreciative. The church is lovely. The event was well organised and I hope the Chatteris Musical Society goes from strength to strength, as it is a great asset to the local community.

Pasadena Roof Orchestra Biography
This is a great 30s-era Jazz band. Listening to this band would be like listening to Al Bowlly singing with Ray Noble and His Orchestra if only high-definition recording equipment had been around 70+ years ago. I've read somewhere that Her Majesty is not displeased whenever she hears the Pasadena Roof Orchestra.
