Conceived and nurtured in the Stroud Valleys, contemporary Gypsy Jazz, Folk & Pop duo, Fortinalo combines class with excitement in ways perfect for any event!
Their unique style is in part due to their varied musical influences: Celtic, Gypsy, Pop and Classical styles weave their way into traditional Folk, 30's Swing and modern Bop sounds. The result is exhilarating and compelling, invariably leaving their audiences in as much astonishment as wonder and delight.
After sharing the stage together for years, playing at festivals, weddings, private events, clubs & restaurants, Fortinalo decided to branch out as a duo to share their unique musical chemistry in the duo format. This format highlights the interplay and intricacy in their playing. They are a band focused on providing musicality above all else and pride themselves on providing appropriate music for any situation. If you want a musical spectacle with virtuosity and energy, they have you covered. If you are after something relaxed, yet engaging for a more subtle environment, they have you covered. If you want something beautiful and romantic for a first dance or walking down the aisle too, they have you covered.

Where to set up, event organiser and where to park when arriving at the venue
Happy to put on music in between on before my set starts.
We love performing every time, from performing to an attentive audience at in intimate venue to customising the music so it fits in with a special day perfectly. We've loved playing at Manchester & Swansea Jazz festival though!
A mixture of Django Reinhardt & John Mayer, an eclectic combination but great song writing mixed with epic guitar skills on both parts!
We've been performing together as a band for around 7 years and have done many hundreds of gigs and shows since at Festivals, Arts centres, Weddings, corporate events, private parties and personal shows!
We love working with people to create the perfect ambiance at all events. Making sure the music is right is very important, meaningful and something we really appreciate!
Set up: from 40 minutes , Performance 2x50 minute sets roughly. Happy to be flexible though, whatever fits in with the day best!
Yes! If it's summer then shade is appreciated. Access to power is also something to consider if amplification is required.
Happy to learn a request for the day or for clients to look at my setlist and say their preferences.
The perfect balance between adding great ambiance but engaging enough where guests who have a love of music and guita/violinr can get involved and enjoy some songs.
