Spring Swing

  Some sweet tunes to put a pep in your step as the evenings grow longer.
  "Dear gypsy jazz...it's been an amazing affair. From our first meeting in the park in Belfast via Angelo Debarre to my forming of my band it's been nothing but a pleasure. This country needs you, now more than at any time before. Please let the festival continue to bring joy to the masses and make me regret being a gadjo. Viva le manouche, and viva Django."

  Neal Wright, Locoswing.
  "That really is a good one: how do you explain love?
I play this music. As the young yet late Robert Cotterill said, there must be easier ways of not making a living.
I do it nevertheless. This can only be love, n'est pas? I shall keep doing it, I guess, until my teeth give in or until I have to be carried away, whichever comes first."
  Jerry Senfluk, Capital Swing.

Things Are Warming Up....

  Plans are coming together for another amazing programme this October.  
  We will be announcing our full programme plus ticket and travel offers around mid-summer, so to make sure you don't miss the boat sign up for our newsletter here.
