Oh la la! Quintet

Oh la la! are delighted to be back at the Crazy Coqs.

They have prepared a new show for you to celebrate Bastille Day with some Musette, French Chanson made famous by Edith Piaf with unforgettable 20’s upbeat to 50’s smooth jazz, French film music – film noir /nouvelle vague, cool rearranged 60’s /70’s French pop tune as well as original material from their upcoming album.

The dulcet tones of Parisian-born Fifi La Mer‘s voice and the evocative sound of her accordion, blended with the talents of Oliver Wilby on clarinet, will take you straight back to that little café by the Eiffel Tower. Alex Garnett’s exuberant saxophone playing will transport you to that buzzy jazz club by Pigalle, along with the cool guitar vibes of Simon Picton and the groove of Julian Bury on double bass.

This special collaboration of world-class musicians, who, when not part of Oh La La !, perform internationally with the likes of Ray Gelato, The Pasadena Roof Orchestra, Kid Creole, and the Coconuts, to name but a few.

Oh La La has performed over 1,200 concerts over the past ten years in top venues up and down the country, including Ronnie Scott’s, the Royal Opera House, the National Theatre, Cafe Verdi @the Royal Albert Hall, Somerset House, and theatres around the country.

A night to remember with authentic French music that will transport you to the Paris you love or imagine.
