Greg Poppleton & his Bakelite Dance Band at a corporate 1920s event, Quay West Resort












 

Cyclic Defrost Magazine,
Sep 2005

"Roads to Roma has a beautiful smokey, breezy, chilled, gypsy thing going on... What was Unkle Ho listening to for inspiration while writing and recording this album?

“Heaps of old time jazz. The Phantom Dancer on 2SER is one of my favourite shows.

Greg Poppleton who does the show plays all this old
Swing from like the 30s & 40s and for some reason that strikes a chord."
