Swing From Paris

This Event Takes Place @ Chapel Arts, Cheltenham (Chapel Arts, Knapp Road (Near St. James Square), Cheltenham. GL50 3QQ)

Often described as ‘the finest gypsy jazz in the Cotswolds’, Swing from Paris are a UK quartet of violin, guitars and double bass. Influenced by Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli, they’ve been seen on the BBC’s Hairy Bikers, have appeared at major jazz festivals including Cheltenham, Brecon and the Django Reinhardt Festival at Samois sur Seine, and have even performed at the opening of a service station for the pleasure of Prince Charles. They present their own versions of music from across Europe and beyond - featuring music by Edith Piaf, Gershwin, Charles Trenet, and the Hot Club de France. Their latest album, Webster, received airplay on BBC radio. Expect stylish jazz and vintage swing.
