Falling In Love Again – Greg Poppleton & Bakelite Jazz


Enjoy this short film clip of Greg Poppleton & Bakelite Jazz performing the song, ‘Falling In Love Again’, which Marlene Dietrich sang in ‘The Blue Angel’. The band was filmed at a 1920s Great Gatsby themed party for a major corporate in Sydney’s Intercontinental Hotel…

Greg Poppleton & Bakelite Jazz are Sydney’s 1920s and 1930s jazz and swing specialists

We play at clubs, weddings, corporate functions, events, 1920s, 1930s, Underbelly Razor and Great Gatsby theme parties

You can have the band at your occasion, too. Visit the band’s official website, www.bakelitejazz.com, or email me at greg@bakelitejazz.com

We booked the Greg Poppleton Bakelite Jazz band for our Melbourne Cup Day Luncheon, to help create the feeling of an authentic 1930’s jazz vibe for our 250 patrons.
They turned up in traditional 1930’s suits and helped to make the day an absolute success.
Couldn’t have been more perfect – we will definitely have them back in the future and have had guests already book them for their private functions!
