Jazz Night – Cat Skellington

Following on from the sellout success of our January Jazz Concert Night, Lyndhurst Community Centre is bringing further jazz concerts to the New Forest. In April Cat Skellington will be visiting us to play:

Acoustic Jazz and Gypsy Swing

Cat Skellington is an acoustic swing band based on the Isle of Wight. Influenced mostly by the great French gypsy guitar player Django Reinhardt the music they play is largely from the swing era of the 1920s – 30s. It is a style of music with an irresistible beat and a boundless energy known to induce toe tapping of extreme vivacity  – https://www.catskellington.co.uk/.
