Si Cranstoun and his Band

Si Cranstoun and his Band play Bawa Sports & Social Club in Filton, Bristol, with a set rooted in vintage soul, swing and rhythm and blues from the 1940s and 1950s.

Si Cranstoun is a singer whose work draws on vintage soul, swing and rhythm and blues, bringing the sound of the 1940s and 1950s into the present. Early on, Cranstoun built a following on London's soul circuit, then co-founded The Dualers, whose single "Kiss On The Lips" reached the UK Top 30. Going solo, Cranstoun found an audience on the British vintage scene with dancefloor tracks such as "Dynamo" and "Coupe De Ville".

Signed to Warner Records in 2013, Cranstoun received UK radio support for "Dance Forever More" and "Caught in the Moonlight", and later gained wide attention online with "A Christmas Twist". Live, the show is described as high-energy and built around rhythm, with a warm, feel-good nostalgia for the earlier decades of the music.

The concert takes place at Bawa Sports & Social Club, a sports and social club in Filton, Bristol. The evening suits listeners who follow vintage soul, swing and rhythm and blues, and those interested in the 1940s and 1950s style that Cranstoun's music revisits.
