The Autumn Leaf - Splinter @ The Bridge January 30 2011
Still featuring Emma Fisk on violin and Mick Shoulder on double bass,
Djangologie return with a new name and line up. Now joined by James
Birkett and Giles Strong on guitars they are as much in demand for
their own material as well as the gypsy repertoire. Expect a night of
swinging gypsy jazz paying tribute to the legendary Django Reinhardt
and Stephane Grappelli.
Djangologie create an exciting and authentic atmosphere recreating the rhythmic swinging music of Django Reinhardt and the Hot Club De France featuring James Birkett and Giles Strong on guitars, Emma Fisk of the Rye on violin and Mick Shoulder a much in demand Bass player and member of Wagga Jawagga on Double Bass. Djangology recorded their debut cd in August 2002 which has received radio airplay and perform regularly with a recent appearance on BBC T.V.
From the classic repertoire to their own original material, Djangologie reproduce the exciting atmosphere of the Hot Club de France, recreating the swinging music of Django Reinhardt and Stephan Grappelli. Djangology are currently the only 'Hot Club' band in the North East.
They recorded their debut CD in August 2002 (sold out) which has received extensive radio airplay and enjoyed a recent appearance on the BBC's Holiday programme, extolling the virtues of a weekend in Newcastle.
They have released their second CD 'Echoes' which is available on the “Jazzaction” label and can be purchased direct from the group (follow the link above). Naturally they are available for weddings, birthdays and Bar Mitzvah's.
