FiddleBop's new lineup plays “Gypsy jazz plus” at the Foundry, Brecon! That's on violin, Spanish guitar, fretless bass, and percussion, with four voices in harmony. And it's free entry 😃
So what is this "Gypsy jazz plus"? Back in the 1930s, the Quintette du Hot Club de France (think Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli) created amazing music based on current and past pop tunes, traditional Gypsy melodies, their own compositions, even some JS Bach. FiddleBop’s music is just as wide-ranging: expect Gypsy-flavoured jazz drawn from all of the genre’s century-long history, plus jazz-flavoured classic pop, folk-jazz, and the band’s own creations. Add superb musicianship and irreverent banter, then season to taste. Yum!
Dave Favis-Mortlock is on violin and vocals. Joanna Davies plays Spanish guitar and sings. Graeme Lamble is FiddleBop’s fretless bassist extraordinaire. And wonderful "new boy" Paul Midgley is on percussion and junk flute.
See you there?
