The Hairpin Turn is an eclectic mix of the finest music across a variety of years, genres, styles, moods and fragrances. Keep your dancing shoes handy for the fast stuff, a box of tissues ready for the sentimental stuff, and a fresh pot of ginger and lemon tea for the singalong stuff. There's bound to be a song you know. Maybe there's a song you'll fall in love with at first listen.

Each performance of The Hairpin Turn is in two movements:

La Dansette

A mini-party. Music at a fixed BPM for dancing, singing, carousing, marching upon castles, etc.; however the witching hour pleases you.

Deeper into Music

Music following a theme. Past subjects of the week: contrafacts, psychogeography, Billy Strayhorn, Tom Waits.
