The New Vaudeville Band was a group created by songwriter Geoff Stephens in 1966 to record his novelty composition “Winchester Cathedral“, a song inspired by the dance bands of the 1920s and a Rudy Vallée megaphone-style vocal. To his surprise, the song became a transatlantic hit that autumn, reaching the Top 10 in the United Kingdom and rising to No. 1 in the United States. The New Vaudeville Band initially was a studio group composed of session players, but Stephens quickly assembled a permanent group to continue recording and to play live shows. The group has been periodically revived since, without Stephens’ participation.

Группа, созданная автором песен Джеффом Стивенсом в 1966 году для записи его новой композиции “Winchester Cathedral“, песни, вдохновленной танцевальными группами 1920-х годов и вокалом в стиле мегафона Руди Валле. К его удивлению, той осенью песня стала трансатлантическим хитом, войдя в Топ-10 в Соединенном Королевстве и поднявшись до № 1 в Соединенных Штатах. New Vaudeville Band изначально была студийной группой, состоящей из сессионных музыкантов, но Стивенс быстро собрал постоянный состав для продолжения записи и живых выступлений. С тех пор группа периодически возрождалась без участия Стивенса.
