FiddleBop

FiddleBop plays Jazz-Folk... from Hot Club Gypsy swing to jigs'n'reels, and beyond. Masterfully played on violin, Spanish guitar, cello, and fretless bass, and with four passionate voices in harmony.

    "A fantastic gig from FiddleBop last night - bouncy gypsy jazz, interesting histories, and stories of ground-down skulls - what's not to love?" Live at the Old Street Tavern, Ludlow 2026
    “... a wonderful evening of life-affirming music..." Brecon Jazz Club 2025
    "Fiddlebop played an amazing set of wonderful music that delighted everyone" Brecon Jazz Club 2024

Our music is sophisticated but isn't stuffy or pretentious. Is danceable and exciting but not rhythmically boring. Has plenty of go-for-it improvised solos but is still tuneful and melodic. All with a dash of fun and good humour 😃. We love what we play, and it shows!
