Swing from Paris live in Byfield

Experience Swing from Paris live on August 5th

Swing from Paris is scheduled to perform at Byfield Village Hall on August 5th, 2026. The ensemble specialises in recreating the sounds of 1930s Parisian jazz, drawing heavily on the style of Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli. Their performances typically feature instrumental virtuosity – particularly on guitar and violin – alongside a repertoire encompassing both original compositions and well-known standards from the era of *hot jazz* and *gypsy jazz*.

Byfield Village Hall is a community-run venue located in the village of Byfield, Northamptonshire. Originally constructed in 1928 as a social hub for the local rural community, it has undergone several renovations over the decades while retaining many of its original architectural features. The hall serves a variety of purposes including local council meetings, film screenings, exercise classes, and private events alongside hosting musical performances. It is notable for its relatively intimate capacity and traditional village hall atmosphere, contributing to a close connection between performers and audience members. The hall is managed by a committee of local volunteers dedicated to maintaining it as a vibrant community asset.
