Being a local resident since 2017, Benoit Viellefon has been performing in Hastings & St Leonards-on-sea once a year on average. The concerts always sold out before they were announced publicly due to the strong local following. This time Benoit decided to move from the 100+ seats venues to the fafulous 500 seats Henry Ward Hall, a magnificient victorian Auditorium in Hastings Town Centre with some of the best acoustics in the Country. He will bring the full Hot Club, a mix of virtuoso young musicians and international jazz legends. The repertoire will include many new numbers that they have been crafting exclusively for the series of concerts performed in Asia in 2024.
Early bird tickets will be available for £20.00 until April 14th. - All other tickets will be priced at £25 thereafter.
Do not miss it, it will be the only concert in the town in 2025!
THE LINE UP WILL BE:
Benoit Viellefon (France) - Lead vocals - Jazz guitar
Jarrod Elks (Herbie Flowers Band) - Vocals - Jazz guitar
Jack Garside (Mark Kavuma Orchestra) - Double bass
Magic Mike Henry (Chris Barber Orchestra / Passadena Roof Orchestra) - Cornet / trumpet
Bjorn Dhalberg (Mick Jagger / Arthur Brown / ABBA world tour band) - Clarinet & tenor saxophone.
ABOUT THE BENOIT VIELLEFON HOT CLUB:
Benoit Viellefon has long been a firm favourite at the most elegant places around the country. The line up and orchestrations are inspired by the hot swinging music that emerged from the infamous Parisian Cafes and nightclubs of the 1930s ‘40s.
The Hot Club’s performances celebrates the burning excitement of those hot gypsy swing numbers made famous by Django Reinhardt, together with the romanticism of the finest French numbers. With a nod to the American jazz virtuosi who visited Paris, such as Louis Armstrong and Sidney Bechet, the Hot Club features both clarinet, tenor saxophone and trumpet alongside the timeless two-guitars and double bass lineup. But they are also often true to the original "Hot Quintet De France" Django Reinhardt Grapelli line up, with the addition of a virtuoso Violin player.
The Hot Club is resident at Ronnie Scotts and performs the best of gypsy swing, hot jazz, French music and timeless melodies from the 1920s, 30's and 40s. They have been in huge demand for major cultural events and concert hall performances including: headline slots at Glastonbury’s Jazz Stage, BBC2, BBC Radio3, Hollywood films, National Television, regular appearances at Ronnie Scotts, the Royal Albert Hall, Madonna's private parties, Royal Family private events and a host of European performances.
Benoit's concerts are infamous for selling out very fast. Please get yourself a ticket while you can!
