Blues & Soul's very own Snowboy was given the prestigious role of ‘Curator Of Everything 40s’ for Vintage At Goodwood, He gave the strongest line-up there’s ever been at any 40s event in the UK, and boy what a success the Torch was!
‘The Torch’ - a specially constructed 40’s style night club with a proper dance floor, big stage and a restaurant with a sumptuous menu for luncheon and evening dining served by stylish waiter staff.
The lineup included George Formby impersonator, P.E. Casper, DJ set by the legendary Jeff’s Two Tone Boogie is pianist/singer Mike Sanchez, Burlesque star and favourite pin-up of the 40s scene - Kitten Von Mew and flown back from New York ex-pat James Langton - who now leads the US east coast Swing scene as a band leader. The 40's style continued with a very special guest star vocalist Natasha Marsh, one of the worlds leading Opera stars.
Saturday was hosted throughout the day by an institution of the UK 40’s scene -Viv The Spiv, along with the nephew of Glenn Miller in concert "The John Miller Orchestra. Guesting with John was Brooke Garveys ‘Swing Dance Company’ and a very special appearance of the west end star Jodie Prenger.
The Torch even had three Tea Dances throughout the weekend. - the Foxtrot, the Quickstep and the Waltz. The Torch continually had a strong audience throughout the full time of Vintage, an area which will certainly need to bigger next year!
