As the Band only got together in March 2012 things have really taken off for them, they Have performed in Festivals , Cafe Theatres , Barbeques, private partys, Fetes, farmers markets as well as selected bar venues , Their gigs have been described as 'like walking into a wonderful old jazz club in New Orleans' They are really enjoying the journey of finding the best songs from 1900 to 1940 and putting their own twist on them, they also write and perform their own quirky original songs .
Refreshing and different is probably the best way to describe Jhil Quinn's Cafe vaudeville Band.
