‘Now What?’ is the debut album, following the successful EP released back in 2012, for Trio Manouche, the UK’s most original and leading Gypsy swing band, and this debut will be launched, most suitably, at the UK’s home of Gypsy swing and mecca to Django Reinhardt, Le QuecumBar in Battersea London, on Sunday 22nd May 2016.

Simon Harris, band leader, said ‘it’s a fitting choice to launch our debut album, ‘Now What?’ at Le Q, as we’ve enjoyed a long standing relationship with the venue dedicated to Gypsy swing, and of course the Trio’s guitarist, Ducato Piotrowski is a Patron of the venue. Trio Manouche are looking forward to welcoming fans of the band, as well as industry VIPs to this event in May’. On the album, Harris goes on to say ‘We’ve worked hard to produce an album which features lots of the band’s original material, Django style, as well as a couple of classics from the master’s era!
