🎼 ABOUT THIS SONG
All is going so fast & well. It’s an endless party, a whirlwind of sensations, Max & Ruby live this to the fullest. And tonight it’s all happening at the Marquee. (1)
✍️🎼💫 In London’s Swinging Sixties (1963-66) a rock star becomes a threath to the establishment’s darkest operators: “The Wigs”. At stake: a culture shock & sexual revolution with Rock as the soundtrack of it all.

A FABulous script by H. Drouin, Serge Laporte & JF William crowns the ‘Swinging London Way’ concept. This 25 song rock opera morphed into a TV series and its pilot script & bible.
“Swinging London Way” is a great starting point for a TV series so we are looking for representation toward a development deal with the likes of Netflix, Amazon, Hulu & BBC to turn “Swinging London Way” into a lucrative franchise.
Pilot script in English & French, Bible & 25 recorded songs are available to get the ball rolling.
🚧 Casting is crucial with singing as in cinema.
These guide vocals are blueprints so to hear what a singer can do with the song.

(1) The London club most famously associated with ska in the 1960s was the Marquee Club. However, another pivotal venue in the rise of ska culture was The Flamingo Club, located in Soho. The Flamingo was a hub for the vibrant West Indian community and a hotspot for ska, bluebeat, and early reggae music. These venues played a significant role in introducing ska to a wider audience in London.more
