About / Biography

We're a Brighton-based gypsy swing band with a 1920s-1940s Parisienne Hot Club sound. We’re available to play at venues, weddings, celebrations, and other special events around the UK and internationally.

Expect a recreation of the heady atmosphere of Django Reinhardt's Paris, with lightning-fast guitar riffs, pulse-racing rhythms, and soaring Ella Fitzgerald-inspired vocals.

Supersize the band by adding extra instrumentalists - popular choices include violin, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, and snare drum.

Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

The clients are welcome to pick a set list from our repertoire or let us choose the music for them. We are open to a small number of special requests if suitable, so this will need to be discussed before the quote is finalised.
