Our Take

Step right up, ladies and gents, and behold the magical concoction that is TEMPERANCE SEVEN's latest offering, "The Writing On The Wall". This merry band of eccentric musicians is back with their signature blend of Dixieland jazz, ragtime, and vaudeville, creating a whimsical sound that transports you straight to the roaring 20s.

From the moment the kazoo hits your eardrums on the opening track, you know you're in for a wild ride. The brass section shines bright like a diamond in a sea of musical mediocrity, while the banjo and piano dance around each other in perfect harmony. The lyrics, delivered with a cheeky wink and a nod, are a riotous blend of humour and social commentary that will leave you chuckling long after the music has stopped.

But don't be fooled by the lighthearted facade - behind the quirky instrumentation lies a depth and complexity that rewards repeated listens. Tracks like "Prohibition Blues" and "Flapper Pie" showcase the band's technical prowess and musical ingenuity, making this album a veritable feast for the ears.

So, grab your top hat and cane, and let TEMPERANCE SEVEN whisk you away on a musical journey like no other. "The Writing On The Wall" is a true gem in a sea of musical dross, a delightful reminder that sometimes, the best things in life are a little bit old-fashioned.

About the artist

The Temperance Seven

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to the eccentric musical stylings of Temperance Seven. This quirky British ensemble has been tickling our ears and tapping our toes since the late 1950s, creating a blend of Dixieland jazz, swing, and comedy that is as delightful as it is unique. Led by their enigmatic frontman, Tristram "Bud" Webb, Temperance Seven has charmed audiences around the world with their infectious energy and playful antics. From their early days performing in pubs and clubs in London to their later success on the international stage, this septet has never failed to entertain. With a lineup that includes a sousaphone, banjo, and washboard, as well as more traditional brass and woodwind instruments, Temperance Seven's sound is a delightful hodgepodge of influences that defy categorization. Their music is a joyful celebration of a bygone era, blending nostalgia with a modern sensibility that is as refreshing as a gin and tonic on a hot summer's day. But make no mistake, there is a method to their madness. While their music may be light-hearted and fun, Temperance Seven is a group of highly skilled musicians who take their craft seriously. Their tight arrangements and impeccable musicianship are a testament to their dedication to their art. So the next time you're in the mood for something a little bit different, why not give Temperance Seven a spin? You won't be disappointed – guaranteed.
