About Ta Mère:
“Ta Mère - 3 guys-about-town, on the town, getting down
and swinging hard. A creation by special request of the BBC for the 2007 Glasgow
Film Festival, they’ve catapulted from these auspicious beginnings directly
onto the London scene. Embrace the sultry evening, suffused with the hint of
yesteryear and awash with a fresh undercurrent crackling and sparkling away.
Champagne flutes fully charged, and the ice cubes clinking happily in their
tumblers, dance those troubles away to the latest sensation. Spanning all from
the slow grind, through jump jive and touching on the jazzy boogie and eclectic
points in between, allow Ta Mère to escort you away from the mundane and sweep
you up into a state of bubbling hilarity and joy as the joint gets jumpin’.
Laissez les beaux temps rouler...”
