Sheffield show for Tea Pad orchestra
Described as “Newcastle’s finest swing-honkytonk-rockabilly band”, the Tea Pad sound draws on a range of influences – from Bob Wills to Django Reinhardt, George Jones to Cab Calloway – yet ultimately sounds like nobody else.
The band – frontman Rob, guitarist Ben Fitzgerald, Tom Cronin on mandolin and harmonica, accordian player Colin Nicholson and Ted Harbot on double bass – are five years into a story which began with four friends studying folk and traditional music at Newcastle University and now sees them playing clubs, dancehalls and festivals across Europe.
