ABOUT
Born
in France, Benoit started to play music whilst in his teens. Adept
on various forms of guitar, bass and drums, music has inevitably
forged the way for this youthful and energetic musician. The muse
has followed him throughout Europe, Japan, Russia and Africa, where
he has joined all manner of projects ranging from african/arabic
music, French
gypsy swing, pop-rock,
pop-rock,
blues to reggae & ska and the burlesque. Lately, Benoit has taken up a management
and musical position with Gaz
Mayall's Trojans
Celtic Ska project, the
Skamonics and other endeavours. Recent collaborations with the
BBC and Channel
4 in the way of film
soundtracks have added further feathers to his beret. As founder
member of “quality first” JohnJohn
record label, Benoit employs his natural charm and extensive
connections, to ensure that any project he comes in contact with
has the assurance of professionalism and quality. His original compositions
and arrangements are legion, and fast becoming legendary! - Sean

THE
ORCHESTRA
Some of the
finest musicians from the british scene play in Benoit Viellefon's
Orchestra. The ensemble varries in sizes and shapes to accomodate
most venues and occasions (...read "fit the budget") but
it is certainly always impressive in style and quality...
