Benoit Viellefon & His Hot Club - Live at the Henry Ward Hall (Hastings)

Being a local resident since 2017, Benoit Viellefon has been performing in Hastings & St Leonards-on-sea once a year. This time, the concert will take place in the fabulous 500 seats Henry Ward Hall, a magnificent Victorian Auditorium in Hastings Town Centre with some of the best acoustics in the Country. He will bring the 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.

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 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.

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.
