Brief Encounter Duo and Piccadilly

Chris and Veronica Perrin are multi-instrumentalists playing vintage jazz at home and abroad.

We were attracted to the idea of accompanying Piccadilly as the film is set in the Jazz Age and suits our style of music.

Chris's grandfather H.H. Perrin was a professional silent movie accompanist who also played with Frascati's Orchestra in Piccadilly and is very likely to have accompanied this film.

Piccadilly (1929) is a silent British classic and was also an international success. The film was restored and re-released by Milestones Films in 2004 and on DVD in 2005 with the soundtrack composed by Neil Brand. Our accompaniment is improvised and compiled from open-source music for silent films, jazz standards and Tin Pan Alley. We think it will appeal to vintage jazz fans as well as film buffs and the curious.
