Fiddlebop at Landed Festival

FiddleBop plays "Gypsy jazz: re-imagined for the 2020s" at Landed Festival 2023!

FiddleBop's jazz is sophisticated but not pretentious or stuffy, is danceable but not rhythmically boring, has plenty of go-for-it improvised solos but is still tuneful and melodic. And, like the first Gypsy jazz bands, FiddleBop’s ‘Gypsy jazz: re-imagined’ is highly eclectic. Expect Gypsy-flavoured jazz drawn from all of jazz’s century-long history. That’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 band’s own creations. All played and sung with Gypsy zing and passion!...
