| Andy Aitchison
jazz violinist
Andy first heard The Quintette du Hot Club de France when he was 14 and has modeled his style on Stephane Grappelli ever since - gigging mainly in London for over 30 years. At the beginning of his career, Andy also played with various Greek, Iranian, Klezmer and rock bands. More recently, he has returned to the Hot Club style and now is focussing all his efforts on keeping the Grappelli legacy alive. He was with the Kimbara Brothers for many years touring hot club music throughout the UK as well as performing with John Etheridge, Tina May, Le Jazz, Fapy Lafertin, Angelo Debarre, Szapora, Jonathan Hepbir, Tim Robinson, Nils Solberg and many more. Over the past few years, Andy has been working with the celebrated gypsy guitar master, Lollo Meier, touring in the UK and Europe. Festivals: Upton upon Severn (for over 10 years), Edinburgh, Soho, Brighton, Birmingham, Ealing, St. Albans, Hungerford, Teignmouth, Sheffield, City of London, Namur, Turin, Florence.
