Trio Manouche:
Trio Manouche are a world-class gypsy jazz ensemble formed by Simon Harris in 2005. The ensemble perform a mixture of traditional classics and up-beat quirky original compositions. These originals bring a unique and contemporary take on the genre and the repertoire. Simon has played with some of the living legends of the gypsy jazz style including Tchavalo Schmitt and Stochelo Rosenburg. He has also worked with more contemporary artists such as Mobo Award Winner Soweto Kinch and he recently even ended up on a Cat Stevens video! The line-up includes the inimitable Frank Moon on Acoustic Guitar and the very talented Colin 'the changes' Somervell on Double Bass.

Trio Manouche can be seen on a regular basis at the following venues:
Henry Wood Hall, Ikon Gallery, 606 Club, Symphony Hall, The National Theatre, Le Quecumbar, Timothy Lines (CBSO), Shambala Festival, Iford Arts, RCA.

The ensemble is typically a trio, however they often augment the group with one or two more celebrated musicians (typically trumpet and vocals).

"Nice balance of strong original compositions, cool street, and reverse lip service attitude make these guys worthy guardians of the music."
