Swing from Paris live in Islip

Experience Swing from Paris live on August 22nd

Swing from Paris presents an evening of live music at Islip Village Hall on August 22nd, 2026. The band specialises in recreating the sounds of classic Parisian jazz and swing music from the 1930s and 40s, drawing inspiration from artists like Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli. Their performances typically feature virtuosic guitar work, dynamic improvisation, and a repertoire encompassing both well-known standards and original compositions in the *jazz manouche* style – often referred to as Gypsy jazz.

Islip Village Hall is a community-run venue located in the village of Islip, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom. Originally built in 1928 as a social hub for the local community, it has undergone several renovations over the years while retaining many of its original architectural features. The hall serves as a focal point for various village events including film screenings, theatrical performances, meetings, and private functions. It is managed by a committee of local volunteers dedicated to maintaining it as a valuable asset for residents. The hall’s stage area is suited to smaller musical ensembles and provides an intimate setting for performances.
