Freestage 7-8pm: Trio Manouche are a world-class gypsy swing
ensemble performing the works of Django Reinhardt and their own
up-beat quirky original compositions in the style of Hot Club de
France, bringing a uniquely contemporary take on the repertoire.
In 2010 they have set themselves the challenge of performing 100
gigs to mark the centenary of Django Reinhardt's birth including
performances at Royal Festival Hall, The Mostly Jazz Festival,
Secret Garden Party and Glastonbury Festival.
Born in
Algiers,
Tony Gatlif arrived in France following the Algerian War of
Independence. He struggled for years to break into the
film
industry, playing in several
theatrical productions. Since his 1981 feature
Corre, Gitano, Gatlif's work has been focused on the
Roma
people of
Europe,
from whom he partially traces his descent. Exils (2004),
won the
Best
Director Award at Cannes Film Festival where
Transylvania was premiered in 2006. In Gatlif’s
extraordinary multi-media presentation, hundreds of rarely seen
Django photographs are projected, along with the few known
pieces of moving film of the great virtuoso.

 Musicians and Deputies
The line-ups as listed are correct at the time of Publication and are those
given to us by the leader of the group, and information is as accurate as we can
make it. With the Music business being what it is, inevitable changes happen,
and we amend the listings except for those that happen on the night. We have
generally
been very fortunate, as the substitutions made by the groups have often been
surprise upgrades. Nevertheless, the situation is not one we can control due to
the fallibility of the ever sensitive musicians. Blessed as they are -
they are not invulnerable.
