CFF25: FiddleBop plays 'Gypsy Jazz Plus'
CFF25: FiddleBop
This event is part of the Cheltenham Fringe Festival, and will be taking place in our Green Room.
FiddleBop play Gypsy Jazz Plus on violin, Spanish guitar, keyboard, fretless bass guitar, and with four voices in harmony.
Gypsy Jazz Plus? Back in the 1930s, the Hot Club de France (think Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli) created amazing music based on current and past pop tunes, traditional Gypsy melodies, their own compositions, even some JS Bach. FiddleBop's music is just as wide-ranging: expect Gypsy-flavoured jazz drawn from all of the genre's century-long history, plus jazz-flavoured classic pop, folk-jazz, and the band's own creations. Add superb musicianship and irreverent banter, then season to taste.
Dave Favis-Mortlock is on violin and vocals. Joanna Davies plays Spanish guitar and sings (she's the rhythmic foundation of FiddleBop). Paul Stevens is FiddleBop's keyboard whiz, and Graeme Lamble is FiddleBop's fretless bassist extaordinaire.
Fresh from 2025's HowThLightGetsIn Festival at Hay-on-Wye, FiddleBop have also wowed audiences at Upton Jazz Festival, Brecon Jazz Festival, and many others. their appearance at Cheltenham Fringe promises to be memorable. See you there?
