A man with short brown hair sits and plays piano, wearing a white shirt and black slim tie. A blonde woman stands behind him wearing an orange dress, leaning on the front of the piano, while a shorter brunette woman wearing a white top leans on the back of the piano. There is sheet music on the music stand, a lamp on in the background, and they all smile, looking slightly off camera as though someone has just entered the room they are rehearsing in.

A taller blonde woman, and shorter brunette woman stand on either side of a brunette man who is singing. The two women are wearing short maroon velvet dresses, and are dancing the twist. The man is dancing also. Behind them, a guitarist plays and there is a drumkit. There is an audiovisual screen featuring a record spinning, that says Simply Brill.
