About this Event
FiddleBop at the Old Electric, Hay-on-Wye
FiddleBop play Gypsy jazz: re-imagined at The Old Electric on violin, Spanish guitar, keyboard, and fretless bass. And we sing too, with four voices in harmony.
The venue? Well, The Old Electric is usually a cafe and shop. But during Hay Festival, it becomes a music venue and cocktail bar. With cocktails available until 11 pm. And it's free entry!
And the music? Wales-based FiddleBop's jazz is sophisticated but not pretentious or stuffy. Is danceable but not rhythmically boring. Has plenty of exciting improvised solos but is still tuneful and melodic. We play Gypsy-flavoured jazz drawn from all of the genre's century-long history. That's get-up-and-dance jazz from the 1920s, 1930s chilli-hot swing, and cool post-bop. Plus jazz-flavoured classic pop, folk-jazz, and our own creations. All played and sung with Gypsy zing and passion! See you there?
