HAMPSHIRE’S The FB Pocket Orchestra are set to release their second studio album Boot That Thing.

The follow up to their self titled debut, this collection of familiar standards and little known songs offers an earthy and acoustic treat with a naughty vocal or two thrown in for good measure.

Recorded during downtime from their busy performing schedule, an album launch will take place at The Concorde Club in Eastleigh on Wednesday.

The album was recorded at the FB studio in Hampshire with Mike Dieghan, banjo player from The Temperance Seven, with Paul Stevenson producing.

The FB Pocket Orchestra play music from 1930 or earlier, bringing together jazz influences, country, blues, gypsy, ragtime and classical music.

Multi-instrumentalist Jenny Russell explains: "Our repertoire at first was mainly jazz written in the 1920s. Then at concerts we began asking the audience to share old tunes with us- anything they thought was being forgotten. We have been overwhelmed by the number of tunes people pass on to us- there are hundreds of little known melodies and songs out there. Essentially our audience now help to choose the tunes.”
