Verified profile

La Bouche Manouche Feat. Irene Serra are a modern-day gypsy jazz quintet, passionate about spreading their love of Manouche music. Having played together for various years honing their sound, the group became known to the wider public in 2018 when they unassumingly uploaded a video of them performing “I’ll See You In my Dreams” on YT which went viral and has to date amassed over 5 million views and fans all over the world. Over the years, the band had a few different incarnations but when critically-acclaimed Irene Serra stepped in and added vocals in 2016, La Bouche Manouche’s signature elegant and sassy sound was born. For lovers of vintage jazz, tasty cocktails and deliciously decadent evenings of great, live music. Influenced by the era of the jazz age, their music is rooted in the sound of Parisen Hot Club with swing tunes from Django Reinhardt, as well as traditional gypsy swing tunes, charlestons, French chansons, bal musette and classic jazz standards from the Great American Songbook. The band is London-based and perform throughout the UK and internationally for events including festivals, corporate functions, garden parties, birthdays, anniversaries and weddings. The band line-up is a quintet with their core sound based on the original Quintette du Hot Club de France. Please get in touch for duo, trio and quartet line ups

I would have no reservations about recommending La Bouche Manouche. They arrived promptly and set up with minimal requirements from us. They played three sets of wonderful music, despite the cold and windy weather. Everyone enjoyed the music and commented how good they were. Many thanks for making it a wonderful evening.

On behalf of myself and the bride and groom, I wanted to thank the band for providing such fantastic music during the dinner service and for being so flexible with timings. The whole band were a pleasure to work with, extremely polite, helpful and not to mention very talented! It was wonderful to see people up and dancing before the dinner started and the style of music was completely in keeping with the Wedding theme. It would be a pleasure to work with you again and I wish you all the best for the remainder of the season.
