Who Are The Lounge Bar Lotharios?
The Lounge Bar Lotharios is a 1920s Orchestra like no other. Sydney’s only original and authentic 1920s singer with Sydney’s Top Ten world-touring classic jazz musicians playing original arrangements from the era for your listening and dancing pleasure

Can you imagine what it would have been like dancing to the world’s best dance orchestras onboard the luxurious Ile de France, in an excitingly dangerous Harlem speakeasy like The Cotton Club, or rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous in the lap of luxury at the Great Gatsby mansion?

Curious? So were Geoff Power, world-renowned 1920s-style jazz trumpeter and Greg Poppleton, Sydney’s only authentic 1920s singer. So they hand-picked ten world-touring classic jazz musicians. And under maestro Geoff’s direction and with Greg’s authentic Jazz Age singing, they turned them loose on Geoff’s library of original sweet and stomping 1920s music dance scores
