Trio Manor Manouche reawaken the infectious gypsy jazz pompe rhythm of the swinging 40s and 50s with their unique repertoire of tunes and captivating performances. Guitarists Nev Willis and Thomas Abrahams demonstrate the technical wizardry of Django Reinhardt's guitar style across an array of gypsy swing, bossa's, waltzes and original music alongside Jarrod Coombes' hands sliding up and down the Double Bass. Regularly surprising audiences with their arrangements of many well known songs seamlessly crafted into that recognisable gypsy jazz sound they maintain an appeal far beyond the reaches of the typical jazz trio.

COLLABORATIONS
The Parkside Swing Band perform a variety of evergreen songs taken from the swinging 30s and 40s. Starring three fine guitarists (Thomas Abrahams, Tobias Allen and Geary Allen) with Josh Allen on Bass they are able to successfully recreate the authentic 'Hot Club' sound of Django Reinhardt. The band also features Phil Holmes soaring above these swinging sounds on his Tenor Saxophone and the truly stunning vocals of Mimi O'Halloran.
The Guitar Conspiracy is a unique line up of six classical guitars and one electric bass that conspire to put their stamp on music from many centuries and genres. All soloists in their own right and based in the South East, the players have pooled their talents to deliver a sound that combines the familiar timbre of multiple nylon strung guitars with the the sweet and flowing, but sometimes funky, sound of a fretless electric bass.
