“Hot Club” style quartet from the Cotswolds featuring Fenner Curtis (violin), Andy Bowen (lead guitar), John Vickers (double bass) and either Steve Laming or Stefan Doucette (rhythm guitar). Drawing on the Django Reinhardt legacy their debut album “Menilmontant” was recorded in 2009.
"Although not the most radical interpreters of the Reinhardt legacy the quartet nevertheless add a very British quirkiness to the Hot Club sound."
