About

FiddleBop (4-5 pm, the Bulwark Stage. Free admission!) plays Gypsy jazz, re-imagined for the 2020s with violin, Spanish guitar, keyboard, and fretless bass. We sing too, with four voices in harmony.
And, like the first Gypsy jazz bands, FiddleBopโ€™s โ€˜Gypsy jazz: re-imaginedโ€™ is highly eclectic. In the 1930s, the Quintette du Hot Club de France created amazing music based on current and past pop tunes, traditional Gypsy melodies, their own compositions, even some J S Bach. FiddleBopโ€™s repertoire is similarly wide-ranging. Expect Gypsy-flavoured jazz drawn from all of jazzโ€™s century-long history. Thatโ€™s get-up-and-dance jazz from the 1920s, 1930s chilli-hot swing, and cool post-bop. Plus jazz-flavoured classic pop, folk-jazz, and the bandโ€™s own creations. All played and sung with Gypsy zing and passion!...
