The Swingaholics bring instrumental Parisian swing to the intimate surroundings of Valvona & Crolla, drawing on the work of jazz legends including Django Reinhardt, Charlie Parker and Duke Ellington. The quartet features Dick Lee on clarinet, Uri Stav on guitar, Iain McNally on guitar, and Owen MacDonald on bass — a tight ensemble capable of the syncopated elegance the genre demands. It is an hour of pure instrumental swing, performed in one of Edinburgh's most distinctive settings.
Why see this show?
Valvona & Crolla is a setting unlike any other Fringe venue, and The Swingaholics fill it with warm, impeccably played Parisian swing. If you love acoustic jazz or simply want something more intimate than the usual Fringe fare, this is a fine choice.
