Playing a range of swing and Latin tunes that will be familiar to most, this is the first ‘proper’ outing for Skip-a-Beat, which was formed a couple of years ago, to support the charity SKIP, which does such good work supporting children and families in Peru. This band is a result of the strong adult jazz education scene in Leeds.
