Ragtime music at its best. Songs by the King of Ragtime – Scott Joplin. Two shows at The Glen Street Theatre.
A full ragtime orchestra with singer under the direction of trumpeter and arranger, Craig Mitten.
Craig has loved ragtime since first hearing it at the age of 6. So his ragtime sound and orchestrations are absolutely real.
For someone like me who had only ever heard rags on piano, hearing this tight full orchestra with flute and piccolo by Sandra Mitten and ex-Opera Australia singer, Tanya Christensen, giving voice to Joplin’s Ragtime Dance and excerpts from his opera Treemonisha, was a joyous revelation.
The show was produced by John Buchanan with script by John Buchanan and additions by myself. I played the role of John Stack, Scott Joplin’s publisher, narrating the life and musical career of the King of Ragtime.
The orchestra played the well-known Joplin favourites, Maple Leaf Rag and The Entertainer as well as many other fascinating numbers including, Stoptime Rag, the Ragtime Dances, Pineapple Rag and may more.
If you didn’t catch The Life and Music of Scott Joplin at Glen Street, keep an eye out for when it might come to a theatre near you.

For the 1930s Speakeasy there was an excellent dinner menu. I had the poached pears and walnut salad – yum!!! Geoff had the lamb skewers – brilliant. And Chuck ordered the wagyu beef – mouth-watering.
Especially for the Speakeasy night, the cocktail menu included ‘The Speakeasy’, ‘Gimlet’ and a whole range of vintage 30s cocktails.
No wonder all the guests had such a wonderful time inside the warm, cosy bar, merry with a dazzling array of fine wines from around the world, good food, hot jazz by world-touring musicians and charming company. The temperature dived below freezing outside but no-one cared. (There were even a few flakes of snow as I got off the train before the show.)
Greg Poppleton is Australia’s only authentic 1920s and 1930s singer. Geoff Power is an ARIA nominated trumpet player who also plays his hot 1921 vintage sousaphone with Greg Poppleton and the Bakelite Broadcasters. Chuck Morgan is also part of the world-touring Janet Seidel Trio and played guitar, banjo and his 1927 vintage ukelele.
THANK YOU! Just passed 400,000 views (and 1000 likes) for the 1920s – 1930s Swing Jazz Background Chill Mix 1 – songs from 3 albums by Greg Poppleton and the Bakelite Broadcasters…

Greg Poppleton and the Bakelite Broadcasters entertained with jazz and swing from the 1920s and 1930s at Sydney Rowers Club on the Parramatta River in Abbotsford, Sunday 19 July. And it was good to see so many friends drop by.
Greg Poppleton (1920s-30s singer) Paul Furniss (clarinet and alto sax) Grahame Conlon (guitar) Darcy Wright (double bass).
Sydney Rowers has jazz every Sunday afternoon with great food and great views. No wonder the place is packed.
It was a high energy, SOLD OUT, Gin Mill Social 1920s night at Slide, Friday 17 July.
TheGin Mill Social is Sydney’s hot ticket 1920s night every month at Slide, an art deco building on lively Oxford Street. From 7 – 11:30pm it’s 1920s glamour, cuisine and cocktails!
We backed the wonderful aerialist, Missy, with a hotcha version of Hindustan, as she struck amazingly intricate artistic and athletic poses on the suspended hoop in a tableau celebrating Bastille Day.
And the new MC had the audience laughing and calling for more. Alicia, aka MC Loopy Lou, is a dynamic entertainer and sizzling creator of Slide’s hugely successful Risque Revue.
