Hi guys, sorry I've been a bit quiet recently, but I have just started a new job working for Wilton's Music Hall http://www.wiltons.org.uk/
(Please excuse the website, we are currently working on a new one.)

Anyway, we are putting on a production of T.S Eilot's poem The Wateland from the 30th December.
Because of this we have decided to theme the New Years Eve party - 1920s.

I am looking for suggestions of performers who have routines along this theme.

Thanks for all your help.
xoxoxo

Chaplin's pretty 1920s ... but you know the songs I use are modern ...

Thanks guys!
The new job is great - long hours, but great fun.

Thank you for the suggestions.  I had thought of Marianne Cheesecake.

Thanks for the Bijou Noir suggestion - I knew there was someone who did a Josephine Baker routine, but could think who it was.

Amelie - I will keep you in mind - thank you.
