LONDON DJANGO COLLECTIVE
The London Django Collective was born out of the desire to create a local and innovative forum for musicians influenced by the musical legacy of Django Reinhardt. The result is an exciting collection of some of this city's finest purveyors of the Django style, paying tribute to the music he pioneered, whilst pushing the genre forward into the vibrant London jazz scene.
Fresh from a sold out date at Ronnie Scotts this year and following up their debut E.P. releases, the LDC are currently making moves around the UK jazz scene. Each member of the collective brings their own dimension to the music, carefully brushing dust off of classic repertoire whilst bringing new and original music into the mix. Each live show is an exciting improvisational showcase of the band and a testing ground for new music.
The band features violinist Matt Holborn, guitarists Harry Diplock, Kourosh Kanani and Robin Katz and double bassist Pete Thomas.

Our Sponsors
Black Cow is the world’s first Pure Milk Vodka. Made in West Dorset using what is left over from grass grazed cows milk after making cheese. Using milk as our only source ingredient is what makes Black Cow vodka so deliciously smooth. Sip neat, or mix in a long drink or cocktail. At Black Cow we know milk is precious, so we don't waste a drop. Black Cow is made using what is left over from milk when making cheese. It starts with separating the milk into curds and whey. The curds make the cheese – including Black Cow Deluxe Cheddar – but, often, the whey ends up going to waste. We take that whey and, using a secret distilling process, turn it into the World's Smoothest Vodka. Black Cow is based on a farm in the heart of West Dorset, a cross-country ramble several miles from Beaminster. We like to keep things simple so we do most things here on the farm. Jason’s 250-strong herd of dairy cows graze on nearby fields and our vodka is distilled and bottled here by hand. We also have a Bar & Kitchen where we host tastings, workshops and other events. www.blackcow.co.uk
