Mendham,Alex & His Orchestra Whistling In The Dark CD

Alex Mendham and His Orchestra play dance music of the 1920s and 1930s with unmatched authenticity and spirit. Based in London, Alex Mendham's Orchestra enjoys a busy working schedule in that city's East End, with engagements at such prestigious venues as the Savoy, the Floridita, and regular broadcasts on BBC Radio.
