We’re delighted and excited to welcome back The Djangoliers who went down a storm with us back in spring 2025!
Taking their cue from Django Reinhardt’s war-years line-up, where Hubert Rostaing’s clarinet replaced Stephane Grapelli’s violin, The Djangoliers specialize in performing music both written and inspired by the late, great French guitarist. As well as performing many of Django’s classic arrangements and compositions such as Nuages, Swing 42 and Manoir Des Mes Rêves, they also perform tunes from the more contemporary canon of the style now known as ‘Gypsy Jazz’.
Expect foot-tapping rhythms and virtuosic flair as well as evocative ballads from guitarists Simon Hurley and Rob Ford with Zak Barrett on Clarinet and Andy Staples on Double Bass.
