A unique gypsy jazz quartet made up from four of Ayrshire's top musicians, The Cafeorchestra are an acoustically electrifying band playing traditional gypsy and folk music with some originals and jazz standards in their own unique style. John Duffy leads the band and is a brilliant bouzouki player and singer. Ian Newlands on guitar is heavily influenced by Django Reinhardt, his solos are brilliant. Karen Henderson on fiddle is recognised as one of the finest fiddlers in the country with her husband Martin an excellent musician in his own right completing the quartet on bass guitar.
