Ondrej Havelka & His Melody Makers

[in/y]

Ran into Ondrej Havelka & His Melody Makers, a Czech outfit, last night. I was wondering if anyone else was familiar with their work. They're a modern group doing 20's/30's type stuff both in English & Czech.

I ran into this version of Jingle Bells on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBrO09meKoA# it's really fun! They have a number of other things there too.

If you're familiar with the Glenn Miller version of the tune, they do the "Down in Mexico, We Have Got No Snow" bit. It's too much IMHO.

Their website is at: http://www.melodymakers.cz/perform.htm

Enjoy!

Well, of course I´m familiar with them. I´ll probably go see their concert here in Prague on 12th November.

It can be quite a show

"Oh Goodness ! how Dogy are they! love it, do they have any Cd's released?, "Look out Max Raabe, their is a new toe tapping band in Town!""

Except for the video he made of "Beat Me Daddy, Eight To The Bar" with the guy on the piano who was doing blackface.

Faux Pas....
