The Wind Ups are a collective of Gramophone DJs. We spin authentic shellac 78 rpm records on clockwork wind-up His Masters Voice gramophone turntables with modern Technics 1210 tone arms, creating a beautiful sound.

With a huge collection of 78’s, we can play anything from pre-1920’s ragtime right up to tracks from the rock n roll days of the 1950’s. Swing, Charleston and Big Band beats will get you dancing, so expect to hear the likes of Ted Heath, Nat King Cole, Billy Mae, Les Paul and Max Bygraves to name but a few.

Then, of course, there are the beautiful voices of Doris Day, Ella Fitzgerald, Perry Como and Frank Sinatra to soothe your souls and your feet when you are all swung out.

DANCERS
We can also bring along the Wind-Up dance troupe to perform with us and teach you how to dance the Charleston! The most infectious dance ever created, it’s guaranteed to get everyone on their feet.

CONTACT
We are available to entertain at any event, whether it be your wedding reception, birthday party, swing dancing evenings or corporate events.
