Manouche are probably the UK’s best-loved gypsy swing ensemble and have played wherever lovers of jazz, swing and great music can be found.

Playing music it’s impossible not to love with awe-inspiring virtuosity, infectious energy and joy, it’s no surprise that the band have built a celebrity following with high praise from the likes of Sting, KT Tunstall and the late great Jack Massarik.

Manouche’s set brings together the core repertoire of gypsy guitar legend Django Rhinehardt with the band’s own foot-tapping arrangements of trad swing greats such as Nat King Cole, and bandleader Simon Harris’s highly acclaimed original material. The band very frequently team up with virtuoso guests from among the elite of London’s instrumentalists and singers, expanding their lineup to present Manouche – a powerful swing dance band of 6-piece upwards.
