Jazz from all eras, with Gypsy zing! Lively yet sophisticated, a unique sound created by highly experienced musicians: violin, guitar, keyboard, bass & vocal harmonies.
* FiddleBop plays jazz from all eras, jazz of all kinds... with Gypsy zing! Daily-bread jazz from the 1920s (when "jazz was king"), chilli-hot swing and bop from later decades, and jazzy-flavoured sides of classic pop and of songs written just yesterday.
* FiddleBop create a unique and highly listenable sound: lively yet sophisticated, and smooth and chilled or let's-get-up-and-dance... Four highly experienced musicians play violin, guitar, keyboards, fretless bass, together with vocal harmonies. Expect fluent instrumental pizzazz and tangy vocal harmonies, all lightly seasoned with wit, repartee and banter. And Gypsy zing!
* We love what we play, and it shows! Which is — please excuse us, we're about to blow our own trumpet (and mix our own metaphors) — one reason why audiences love FiddleBop's "jazz with Gypsy zing", our unique beggars-in-velvet flavour of jazz music.
Music which can be sweet and chilled: such as our delicate instrumental explorations of John Coltrane's exquisite "Naima", our bluesy take of Thelonious Monk's "Round Midnight", our nostalgic close-harmony vocals in "Here, There, and Everywhere", and during Jo's late-night-mood composition "Thirteen-and-a-half Days In The Desert".
And music which, with its roots firmly in the Gypsy jazz tradition, can most definitely be hot unto cooking. FiddleBop will get your feet stomping and your heart thumping (in a good way, of course) during "The Charleston", for the traditional Gypsy tune "Dark Eyes", for the John Coltrane Quartet's interpretation of "My Favourite Things", and when we're searing though Dizzy Gillespie's "A Night In Tunisia". Yaaay!

Your event
--------------
* We will arrive in good time, set up, then play for you some of the finest 'jazz with Gypsy zing" that you can hear anywhere, at any price!
Q: How long does setup take?
A: If we are using our own PA and lights then we will need an hour to set these up and to soundcheck. If we are using a house PA, then we'll need around 20 minutes to set up and have a short soundcheck.
Q: What are your space and power requirements? A: All we need are two 13 amp sockets if using our own PA and lights, or just one socket if using a house PA. Space-wise, we need enough for four musicians and instruments: say 3 m by 1.5 m as a minimum.
Q: Do you take requests? A: No. Sorry!
