snapping these up - as with previous years, you won't be disappointed with
this years entertainment provided by Oxfordshire's finest...'The Rabbit Foot
Spasm Band'! More details are below but we urge you to book online NOW, or
better still, avoid the booking fee by popping into the bar asap!
Don't forget however, prior to NYE, we've a 'non-Christmassy treat for
you...fancy some 'filthy swing' or 'gutter jazz'? Christmas with the family?
We couldn't think of anything worse! Come to Le QuecumBar and enjoy the
anarchic wrongness of Top Shelf to warm your humbugged hearts! ?Le Bistrotet?!
The Parisian Passion formed from members of the The Top Shelf Band - Le
Bistrotet?s sound is so highly rated, they recorded for the soundtrack of, and
appeared in, the major movie release, ?The Theory of Everything?, (USA, 7th
November 2014, & UK, 1st January 2015)! Well Top Shelf return to Le Que this

THE HOT CLUB OF JUPITER!

brand of Gypsy swing, hot jazz and songs of middle-class angst and caddish
behaviour.
Intrepid adventurer violinist Kit Massey has performed all over the globe,
playing violin with the Santiago Philamonia, Chile and studying Karnatic
violin traditions in Mysore, India.
Christian Miller is a much sort-after exponent of French and American guitar
styles often headhunted by visiting international bandleaders.
The rhythm section of Rory Dempsey (double bass) and Matt French (drums) are
veterans of many west end shows but are occasionally allowed to emerge from
the sub-terrain darkness of the orchestral pit to lend their infectious swing
and uncanny musical telepathy to the Hot Club of Jupiter?s sound.

EFFRA MUSIC
Effra are Alex Bishop (guitar), Tom Newell (fiddle, mandolin) and Aidan
Shepherd (accordion). Heralding from Bath, Shrewsbury and Canterbury
respectively, they met in London in 2011. Although coming from predominantly
rock, classical and jazz backgrounds, a strong connection was quickly formed,
and they began meeting regularly to write and develop music that shared a
common ground.
Early performances were well received, and the band soon grew an identity of
its own, fuelled by ideas brought to the table by all three members. In 2012
after only a year since their first meeting, the band won the Bath Folk
Festival ?New Shoots Competition? on the strength of their compositions and
high-energy performance.

European Gypsy swing meets the music and rhythms of "le monde Creole" in this
seductive and captivating project led by New Orleans-based clarinetist Evan
Christopher. Renowned for his contemporary framing of early jazz masters such
as Sidney Bechet, Jimmie Noone, and Barney Bigard, his quartet enlivens the
music of the legendary Django Reinhardt as well as swing-era classics with the
buoyant rhythms of New Orleans, Cuba, the Caribbean even Brazil. Dazzling
improvisations and colourful stories of the jazz greats he most admires are
also hallmarks of Django a la Creole's presentations. Guitarists David
Blenkhorn and Dave Kelbie, and bassist Sebastien Girardot provide solid
backing in an uncommonly elegant acoustic aesthetic.
Their first CD, Django ? la Cr?ole was released to much worldwide acclaim. The
2nd, ?Finesse? was the 2010 Sunday Times jazz album of the year! And read the
