About
Café Manouche is brought to you by three brothers; Matt Kerry (guitar), Jonny Kerry (accordion, trumpet, vocals), and Christian Hamblin (Double Bass), joined by Arthur Tyers (Guitar), occasional sultry vocals by Natalia Douglas and various other guests.
The group play an eclectic mix of styles, ranging from the sounds of the swinging 1930s and the Waltz-Musette of the Parisian dance halls, to Latin Bossa Nova, traditional gypsy songs and the slick, up tempo sound of 1950s Be-Bop.
Café Manouche play in the distinct style of The Hot Club of France and are highly influenced by old players such as the Ferret family, Oscar Alemán, Tchan Tchou Vidal, as well as the more modern styles of Charlie Parker and George Benson. This Accordion led band are quickly making a name for themselves and are notorious for playing their music with endless passion, grace and a maturity that is often lost in this style today....
