About This Show
La Bouche Manouche featuring Irene Serra present an evening of much-loved festive tunes and Christmas swing numbers from the Great American songbook, all in their inimitable Manouche style! For this performance, they’ll be playing a set popular Christmas songs that has seen them amass over 4.5 million views on Youtube, including foot-tapping swing tunes, French chansons and much-loved standards for an unmissable night of gypsy jazz festive fun. They’ll also be showcasing tunes from their unreleased Christmas EP “Swingin’ in a Winter Wonderland”, exclusively available to audience members during the evening! Featuring critically-acclaimed Irene Serra on vocals, La Bouche Manouche is a vintage jazz quintet influenced by the chic era of the Jazz Age. Their creative repertoire is rooted in the sound of the Parisian Hot Club, featuring Django Reinhardt originals, gypsy tunes and Edith Piaf classics as well as Charlestons, Latin flavours and the Great American Songbook. With Andy Ruiz-Palma on lead guitar, Nathan Mansfield on violin/trumpet, Amy Baldwin on double bass and Simon Rawling on rhythm guitar, La Bouche Manouche is made up of highly experienced, in-demand performers who have played in many prestigious venues such as the Royal Albert Hall, the Barbican Centre, the Southbank Centre, the Royal Festival Hall and Ronnie Scotts.
