The sweet, fierce and swinging music of The Hot Club of Belleville is inspired by the great masters of manouche Swing, Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli of Le Hot Club de France, and the wild musical passion and energy of the Eastern European Gypsies.

From gentle ballads to cartoon craziness and foot stomping Gypsy tunes, this group can put on a show that can be tailored to almost any event. The Hot Club of Belleville creates an atmosphere that conjures up the steamy Swing clubs of the 1920’s and 1930’s and the Prohibition era Speakeasy, through sultry vintage songs, scat vocals, wild instrumental improvisation and that intoxicating Swing rhythm. Thrown into the mix are driving Eastern European Gypsy polkas and waltzes, and contemporary classics played in a ‘Gypsy Swing’ style. Belleville can create a decadent vintage atmosphere, but they are at their best when getting audiences on their feet and dancing the night away, as they do every month as resident band of Brighton’s 20s and 30s Hot Swing night Club Chat Noir.
