31 MAY 2025 CONCERT REVIEWS:
MIKE'S LIST:​
https://mikeslist.uk/buzzing-with-benoit/
"The Hot Club sells out everywhere: from Ronnie Scott’s to festivals across Europe. Each musician a powerhouse in their own right, but under Benoit’s witty, magnetic leadership, something special happens. They play in the deepest sense of the word—musically, joyfully, soulfully... "

HASTINGS INDEPENDENT:​

"The concert given by Benoît Viellefon and his Hot Club band commanded an almost sell-out audience, and, like most local audiences, they came in early. The place buzzed with anticipation, excitement and warm conversation, helped on by the bar at the back. And they weren’t disappointed... "

ABOUT THE CONCERT:
------------------------
Being a local resident since 2017, Benoit Viellefon has been performing in Hastings & St Leonards-on-sea once a year. This time, the concert will take place in the fabulous 500 seats Henry Ward Hall, a magnificent Victorian Auditorium in Hastings Town Centre with some of the best acoustics in the Country. He will bring the Hot Club, a mix of virtuoso young musicians and international jazz legends. The repertoire will include many new numbers that they have been crafting exclusively for the series of concerts performed in Asia in 2024.
---------------------------------------------
ABOUT THE BENOIT VIELLEFON HOT CLUB:
---------------------------------------------
Benoit Viellefon has long been a firm favourite at the most elegant places around the country. The line up and orchestrations are inspired by the hot swinging music that emerged from the infamous Parisian Cafes and nightclubs of the 1930s ‘40s.
The Hot Club’s performances celebrates the burning excitement of those hot gypsy swing numbers made famous by Django Reinhardt, together with the romanticism of the finest French numbers. With a nod to the American jazz virtuosi who visited Paris, such as Louis Armstrong and Sidney Bechet, the Hot Club features both clarinet, tenor saxophone and trumpet alongside the timeless two-guitars and double bass lineup. But they are also often true to the original "Hot Quintet De France" Django Reinhardt Grapelli line up, with the addition of a virtuoso Violin player.
The Hot Club is resident at Ronnie Scotts and performs the best of gypsy swing, hot jazz, French music and timeless melodies from the 1920s, 30's and 40s. They have been in huge demand for major cultural events and concert hall performances including: headline slots at Glastonbury’s Jazz Stage, BBC2, BBC Radio3, Hollywood films, National Television, regular appearances at Ronnie Scotts, the Royal Albert Hall, Madonna's private parties, Royal Family private events and a host of European performances.
Benoit's concerts are infamous for selling out very fast. Please get yourself a ticket while you can!
