CHESHIRE Rural Touring Arts are bringing professional entertainment to Kingsley next month.
The Cassablanca Steps will appear at Kingsley Community Centre on Smithy Lane, Kingsley on April 29.
Their show features music from the Twenties and Thirties and is described as a “step back in time to a golden age of musical excellence.
Songs you can expect to hear include “Putting on the Ritz”, “Black Bottom” “I won’t Dance”, “Yes Sir, that’s my Baby” and “42nd Street.”
A night of fun is promised and the band’s own description of themselves may give more than a clue as to what sort of hilarity to be expected:
Wootten Basset – Trombone, Vocals and eyebrows. Following a narrow escape on the Titanic where he was working as a scullery maid, Wootton vowed to give up his former profession (though not the silk stockings ) and formed The Casablanca Steps.
Clark Deville – Guitar, Vocals and Psychiatric counselling. He’s got rhythm. And music. And my gal too. Who could ask for anything more ? Well, just in case you could, he’s also got several small islands in the Pacific.
Baron von Schneider II – Piano & Vocals & Monocle. (Hair by Toni.) Frustrated soprano and former diet Coke addict, the chunky World War I flying ace joined The Casablanca Steps because of his love of dangerous situations. Perhaps his war experiences explain his mad behaviour. And perhaps they don’t.
Pico Boon III – Double Bass and Top Hat. Pico has had a distinguished career as a top War correspondent, celebrity chef and billiard player. Following the recent creation of the N.S.P.C.C. , Pico will only briefly be utilising his unique vocal “talents”.
