About Amuse Manouche

A bite-sized gypsy jazz band with a big sound
Gypsy jazz band
Brighton
Public liability insurance of £10 million

We're a bite-sized gypsy jazz band with a big sound! Based in Brighton, we’re available to play at venues, weddings, celebrations and other special events around the UK and internationally. Expect a recreation of the heady atmosphere of Django Reinhardt's 1930s Paris, with lightning-fast guitar riffs, pulse-racing rhythms and soaring Ella Fitzgerald-inspired vocals. With just two guitarists, one singer and a huge gypsy jazz repertoire we can bring a classic hot club atmosphere to any event at an affordable cost- we can all fit in one car, plus we can squeeze into some pretty small places! Supersize the band by adding extra instrumentalists - popular choices include double bass, violin and clarinet.

We loved having Amuse Manouche play for my Dad's 70th. They were friendly and professional, the music was excellent and everyone was dancing by the end! Our guests were full of compliments. Highly recommended!
