The Candid Jug Orange Band is a group fronted by Guitarist and Singer Laurence Corns. It draws on repertoire that's inspired by the early Jug and Swing bands of the New Orleans era. Just like the bands of that time it has an ever changing line up, which has included some of London's finest Jazz and Blues musicians such as James Evans, Paddy Milner, Adrian Cox, Marcus Bonfanti, Ewan Bleach, Dom Pipkin and many more.
The sound though, is kept constant by the ground shaking rhythm section of Graham Hughes (Sousaphone) and Bubu Canini (Drums) providing the twenties stomp. A firm favourite of festivals such as Wilderness and Latitude, resident at London's Candlelight Club, they can also be found whipping celebrities up into a frenzy for the New Year party at the top of The Oxo Tower. This band conjures the rawness and roots of 1920s New Orleans in 2020s London. Not to be missed!
