Django's Jive is a laid-back gypsy jazz and acoustic swing band, ready to groove in various setups - be it as a cosy duo, a lively trio, or a full-on quartet. The trio version, featuring a pair of guitars and a smooth double bass, is their most sought-after arrangement.

The repertoire of the band combines traditional swing and Django Reinhardt tracks with modern jazz while also collaborating with a team of talented singers, performing classic pop by the likes of Neil Young and Nirvana, in a vintage gypsy style.

Django's Jive were brilliant! They really helped to create the perfect vibe for our wedding! Ed, Wedding at Narborough Hall Gardens in Norfolk

The band's set-up is neat and tidy, perfect for those events where you want some acoustic tunes humming in the background. But hey, they're not just background music – they can be the life of the party, mingling with the crowd, and getting those vintage swing vibes going for dance events and shindigs.

The band’s quirky, jazzy upbeat style of playing always gets guests moving and provides an interesting talking point at events.

As a guitar duo, they're quite the hit in London's wine and cocktail bar scene. You'll often catch them strumming away at spots like the Victualler, El Gaucho and The Park Plaza Hotel, just to name a few of their regular haunts.
