I'm not interested in modern pop music. I'm interested in real instruments, real singing and the style and music of the 1930s.
Graham Dalby and his band of young musicians are the Grahamophones. They are faithfully attempting to recreate the sound and the look of the golden era of British dance band music.
From their humble beginnings at a pub in Putney, they are now playing in all the top venues around London, just as the old dance bands did 50 years ago. But this isn't just nostalgia, they are playing to a new, young and enthusiastic audience. Photography JOHN BECK
