Swing from Paris live in Rugby

Experience Swing from Paris live on October 22nd

Swing from Paris is scheduled to perform at the Temple Speech Room in Rugby, United Kingdom on October 22, 2026. The ensemble specializes in recreating the sounds of 1930s and 40s Parisian jazz, drawing heavily from the style of Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli. Their performances typically feature virtuosic violin playing, driving rhythm guitar, and a repertoire encompassing both original compositions and well-known standards of the era – often characterized by a ‘gypsy jazz’ or ‘jazz manouche’ aesthetic.

The Temple Speech Room is a historic venue located within the Grade II listed Temple Manor House in Rugby. Originally constructed in the early 19th century as part of the estate, it served as a space for public speaking and debate, reflecting the philanthropic interests of its founder, Henry Brougham, Lord Chancellor. The room's architecture features notable Georgian detailing and is known for its intimate atmosphere and excellent acoustics. Throughout its history it has hosted various community events alongside its original intended purpose; in more recent years it has become a recognized small-scale performance space for musical acts. The building itself has undergone restoration work to preserve its historical integrity while adapting it for modern use.
