La Vie en Rose Topsham Brewery & Taproom Friday 18 October 2019

LA VIE EN ROSE
Topsham Brewery Haven Banks Exeter
Friday 18 October 8-10pm


Django Reinhardt & Stephane Grapelli
The heartfelt wail of the blues; the sultry heat of the campfire; the crazy swirl of the bal musette, all fused together ​with virtuosity and passion in the melting pot of 1930’s Paris: the result was gypsy jazz.

Now ‘LA VIE EN ROSE’ play this exuberant, toe-tapping music with a swing and joie-de-vivre as fresh today ​as when Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli first conjured it from the back streets of Pigalle.

' L A V I E  E N  R O S E ' . . . five musicians with wide-ranging individual backgrounds in classical music, traditional jazz, rock, blues, country, ragtime and roots, pulled together by the shared pleasure of gypsy jazz and hot swing.

After the closure of our original and much-loved venue 'The Globe' we have searched for another equally good and welcoming home, and we think we have finally found it at Topsham Brewery and Taproom on Exeter Quay.

There is also a monthly jam session and the specific dates will be announced on Facebook: Gypsy Jazz Sessions Exeter.
