Exquisite Gin Mill Social Speakeasy Photos – 8 March 2019 Party

It’s as hot as one of Gatsby’s parties, it’s The Gin Mill Social! The fun never stops as live swing musicians play all night long and vaudeville performers pop up to entertain when you least expect it.

“A night of glamour, food, drinks and entertainment…. Don’t forget your dancing shoes.”
– Broadsheet

The first of those swing bands is singer Greg Poppleton’s real 1920s trio with Geoff Power on cornet doubling sousaphone and Paul Baker, banjo. Read, see, book the Band.
