Music from the Hotsie Totsies: In springtime 1944, 3 New York City broads moved to London, England as part of the war effort and have been making waves ever since. They go by the name of The Hotsie Totsies and with their captivating close-harmony singing, charming choreography and comedic banter there is no stopping these gals. They have performed on BBC radio, at Ascot Racecourse, Westfield, aboard HMS Belfast, and with their band at Ronnie Scott’s. Find out more here.
