Join us in welcoming Harry’s Tricks to The Bootlegger Brighton.

Harry’s Tricks play 1920’s, 1930’s and 1940’s popular music from Britain and America. They are led by the unique vocal and guitar style of Mike Potter (Mike the Mic), who combines the influence of Fats Waller, Al Bowlly, Slim Gaillard and Billie Holiday, among others.

Harry’s Tricks make music that is happy and romantic when needed, and silly and tragic when suitable. Their set consists of songs like : Happy Feet, Flat Foot Floogie, Nearness of You, The Very Thought Of You, Sweet Georgia Brown, ‘Round Midnight and Putting on the Ritz, together with some originals for good measure.

Mike Potter’s distinctive and personal interpretation of classic songs shows a long-standing and genuine love for this wonderful old music. In his own words: “ I don’t think of this music as something to copy from the past, it’s my soul music… I try to make something happen at every gig, create a little magic.”
