The Claptomaniacs

If you don’t already know the band, regarded as one of the tightest sounds around, The Claptomaniacs play a transatlantic treasure trove of classic material that’s well-known but not played to death on ‘hits ‘n’ memories’ radio.  Artists covered include (US) Steely Dan, the Doobie Brothers, Boz Scaggs, Huey Lewis and the News, Atlanta Rhythm Section, the Doors, Steve Miller Band, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and (UK) Joe Cocker, Eric Clapton/Cream, Rolling Stones, Travelling Wilburys and many more.  Most of the band’s repertoire is good dance music, but there’s plenty of talent on show so it’s also a great opportunity to just sit back with a drink, listen and appreciate some fine music.
