The Silver Ghosts as a 5 piece swing ensemble performing numbers that evoke the hot, breathless and high spirited dance gigs of the 1920s, 30s & 40s.

The ensemble will perform a mix of high spirited winners together with songs that you're sure you've heard before, but then you're not quite sure adding two or three familiar faves for your listening pleasure.

See a YouTube video of Alex mendham & His Orchestra here

Formed in 2010 under the direction of Alex Mendham, the orchestra authentically performs and records period dance music from the 1920s and 30s.

The passion the orchestra has for this music is what keeps them together. No corner is cut when it comes to preserving the music. From their vintage instruments to the pomade on their hair, no detail is overlooked. The orchestra also prides itself on its library of music. Thousands of rare dance band arrangements from the period. All of these things are indispensable tools of the trade.
