Escapism a la mode:
"Embrace the sultry evening, suffused with the hint of yesteryear and
awash with a fresh undercurrent crackling and sparkling away. Champagne
flutes fully charged, and the ice cubes clinking happily in their tumblers,
dance those troubles away to the latest sensation. Spanning all from the
slow grind, through jump jive and touching on the jazzy boogie and eclectic
points in between, allow Ta Mère to escort you away from the mundane
and sweep you up into a state of bubbling hilarity and joy as the joint
gets jumpin'. Laissez les beaux temps rouler..." |

Testimony:
"Ta Mère - 4 guys-about-town, on the town, getting down and swinging
hard. A creation by special request of the BBC for the 2007 Glasgow Film
Festival, they've catapulted from these auspicious beginnings directly
onto the London scene. Since then, Ta Mère has headlined at the
London Burlesque Festival, and has "swung their stuff" at Glastonbury
Festival, and for Channel 4, Sky TV, Matchbox Magazine and further BBC
events." |

Music Styles:
Ta Mère bridges the generations between Prohibition-era style Swing
Jazz and popular music reaching as far back as the 1920's with healthy
doses of French Ball Musette, Gipsy Swing, Bluegrass, Classic Film Soundtracks,
Cuban, Tango and Blues. |

What People say:
"Ta Mere exploded off the radar at Stranger Than Paradise
on October 6th, 07 with their unique renditions of old style vaudeville
gypsy romany and swing from the early 20th century, captivatingly cool,
sleek and sexy, this string trio are well equipped to play sophisticated
tea parties to dusty dance halls and transport you into another world...
stranger than paradise."
(Amanda Rodgers, Club Promoter www.myspace.com/gypsymadness)
"Ta Mere rocked the Weird and Wonderful tent at the
first ever BBC Film Festival in Glasgow on September 9th with their unique
brand of gypsy swing jazz. Their colourful presence and cheerful demeanor
easily won over the crowds - a gig not to be missed!"
(Katy Leech, BBC Associate Producer) |
