Doors 7pm / Performance 8pm (2 Sets + Interval) / Licensed bar avaliableSwing from Paris are a quartet of violin (Fenner Curtis), guitars (Andy Bowen and Sam Hughes) and double bass (Tomasz Williams), inspired by the great swing bands of the 1930s and ’40s such as Benny Goodman, Charlie Christian, Django Reinhardt, Stéphane Grappelli and the Hot Club of France.
Their Parisian-flavoured jazz and gypsy swing has been delighting audiences for over 15 years: from major jazz festivals including Brecon, Cheltenham and the Django Reinhardt Festival at Samois sur Seine, to being seen on the BBC’s Hairy Bikers and performing at the opening of the award-winning Gloucester Services. Their latest recording together is I Love Paris (2024), available digitally and on CD.
