We’re a high-energy gypsy swing band rooted in the Django Reinhardt tradition, blending virtuosic musicianship with infectious rhythm and effortless charm. Our sound is fast, fiery, and joyful—classic swing with modern swagger. From elegant listening rooms to packed dance floors, we deliver tight arrangements, blazing solos, and a timeless sound that feels both nostalgic and electric.

We need a performance space of 8m x 5m, we need at least 6 13 amp power sockets but ideally an in house PA and 4 parking spaces.
Ideally not we rely mostly on in house PA/LIGHTING but can provide sound via our own Amps to smaller spaces best to discuss thoroughly before booking
We need to know any directions that will help us find the venue and find the right place to load in our equipment. We’d also need to be informed if there’s a PA (Types and number of inputs) in the venue."
Negotiable at extra cost
Hen and Chickens Swing dancers.
We are heavily influenced by Django Reinhardt, Stochelo Rosenberg, Paulus Schaefer, Tcha Limberger and many other gypsy swing artists old and new
We are mostly veteran musicians with more than 30 years of playing experience we started gigging in this line up early 2026 in Bristol meeting at various gypsy swing festivals in the UK
We love playing at all sorts of events but festivals are our favourite! The crowds are always happy and often enjoy swing dancing."
Set up average 1 hour 15 minutes. We normally play 2 x 45 minutes or 3 x 30 mins we find these times suit us abs or audiences but are open to negotiation.
We’re happy to play outside but we ask for shade, a flat level surface and adequate power supply close to the performance area."
Set Repertoire but we can learn up to 3 extra songs if they suit our sound and genre
Previous customers would describe us as an up beat swinging high energy group that enjoys lifting audience spirits and even better get them dancing the night away."
