Sydney’s Only 1920s Singer And Band Entertain Lavish Gatsby Party

Greg Poppleton and the Bakelite Broadcasters, Sydney’s only authentic 1920s singer and band, played for a fantastic and lavish Great Gatsby theme birthday party last Friday night. The dance floor was full. Everyone had fun. The band wowed the guests.

Many guests commented on how the band (out of four at the event) was the only one to capture the spirit of the 1920s and was the only one that made the Gatsby theme of the party ring true. (“We were good value”, as one guest put it.)

I snapped some pictures on stage for you as the band filled the dance floor playing Duke Ellington’s Creole Love Call. The first two pictures were taken during soundcheck. Enjoy…
