News: Ticklers announce summer dates - Birmingham, Henley, Croatia, Thames Festival

14.06.10 - Dixie Ticklers a hit at pop up festival Merrickstock, SE1.

26.05.10 - Gumbo Soup 2 sold out once more.

The development of jazz has to be one of the most organic and fascinating stories in music. Dom James and his would like to provide the first chapter for you with an atomic Dixieland explosion. Combining some of the brightest young talent in the UK, with the oldest charts from New Orleans archives, their goal is to entertain with skill and charm.

Kid Ory, Sidney Bechet, Louis Armstrong and Jelly Roll Morton would hopefully have approved of their renditions of "Salty Dog", "I wish I could Shimmie like my sister Kate" and "Wild Man Blues". These guys are so hot, that even New Orleans enthusiast Woody Allen has a copy of their record.
