Gypsy Jazz Band
Infectious rhythms creating a vibrant blend of Gypsy Swing, Jazz Standards and Funky Latin from the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s, all mashed up with some snappy arrangements played from the heart.
Gypsy swing is a music style created by the legendary European guitarist, Django Reinhardt during the 1930's. Uniquely fusing jazz standards and traditional songs with the incredible musicianship of the Sinti gypsies, he produced a sound that became a global phenomenon. Easily standing the test of time and more popular today than ever before.
This distinctive style of music is the perfect complement to all kinds of special occasions including wedding ceremonies and breakfasts, drinks receptions, exhibitions and launches; and is a refreshing alternative to more traditional acoustic ensembles.
The band is made up of three professional musicians who have been playing together in various formats for over fifteen years. The Gyspy Jazz Band are are suitable addition to any event and are available to hire for weddings, corporate events and private parties throughout the UK and abroad.

You guys are good...really good"
Sir Paul McCartney
Sir Paul's Private Christmas Party
"We would just like to say thank you so much. We had an amazing day, it was so much fun to have our first dance on the grass and we were so happy that your trio and Sara included the song in your repertoire. Everybody loved swinging to your guitars and we had so many people telling us just how brilliant you were. It was perfect. A shame it couldn't go on forever, but it's good to be left wanting more... Many thanks once again".
