Thomas “Spats” Langham sings the 1913 novelty song “The Ragtime Suffragette” accompanied by the 18 piece Jazz Repertory Company Orchestra at 2018’s EFG London Jazz Festival at London’s Cadogan Hall. The show “The World Gone Mad” featured a mix of British and American music from 1899 to 1919 – the period just before jazz. The show was conceived and directed by guitar and banjo maestro Martin Wheatley and produced by Richard Pite, who performed on tuba. The ensemble featured jazz luminaries such as pianist and musical director Keith Nichols, trombonist Andy Flaxman, cornetists Jim Davison and Tom Dennis, clarinettists Richard Exall and David Horniblow and not one, not two but three banjoists! Matt Redman and the aforementioned Martin Wheatley and “Spats”.
