tickets £20 The Plough Arts Centre, 9-11 Fore St, Great Torrington, Torrington EX38 8HQ An evening of Parisian-flavoured swing, jazz & vintage charm Step into the smoky cafés of Montmartre and the golden age of European jazz as Swing from Paris bring their unmistakable Parisian flair to The Plough. This acclaimed all-string quartet — Fenner Curtis (violin), Andy Bowen (guitar), Sam Hughes (guitar) and Tomasz Williams (double bass) — take their inspiration from the style and spirit of the 1930s–50s. Expect shimmering violin melodies, dazzling guitar work and a warm, driving bass as the group celebrate the music of Django Reinhardt, Stéphane Grappelli, Artie Shaw and even the fiery tango of Astor Piazzolla. Their trademark tight ensemble playing and virtuosic energy create an atmosphere that’s both nostalgic and electric.
