BORDELLO BEDWARMERS

WOODLAND JAZZBAND

RECORDINGS

TOUR PLAN
NEW CD RELEASE!!!

 

New Cd:

The Bordello Bedwarmers are a band based in Aarhus, Denmark. We have had a Sunday afternoon residency at "The Cockney Pub" for the past three years. We like to play a wide variety of music Drawn from many sources. Country and Western, Latin, early New Orleans jazz, R & B, Gospel, Disney songs, and ballads.

Anything we enjoy we incorporate into our repertoire. The selection of tunes, on this, our first CD, is what we typically play every week at the pub. I would like to thank the boys in the band for their wonderful playing and their time.

On a sad note, our piano player and friend, Svenne Topgaard, passed away in February. We would like to dedicate "Where he leads me" to him. He is sorely missed by us all.

Our audience have been loyal and faithful in their attendance and support and we thank them all, for without them, where would we be? We would also like to thank Mike Wilson, owner of the pub, for all his help. We hope you enjoy our music.

If you are in Aarhus at anytime, come to the Cockney Pub and say hello.

Mike Owen, Aarhus, May 2008.
