   About Ta Mère

Ta Mère - Benoit Viellefon - Sean MacGloin - Viktor Obsust

About Ta Mère:
“Ta Mère - 3 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. 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...”

Music Styles:
Ta Mère plays popular music from the 1910’s, 1920’s, 1930’s and 1940’s, French ball musette, gipsy swing, russian and balkan traditionals, bluegrass, Classic films sountracks, cuban, tango, blues, jazz, bossa nova.

Ta Mère - Benoit Viellefon - Sean MacGloin - Viktor Obsust

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 care well equipped to play sophisticated tea parties to dusty dance halls and transform you into another world... stranger than paradise."
(Amanda Rodgers, Club Promoter www.strangerthanparadise.net, 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)

Ta Mère - Live at the BBC Glasgow Film Festival 2008

Live videos: "After You’ve Gone", recorded live at the Brickhouse, London.

FREE TONIGHT FROM 10PM @ THE BRIXTON HOOTANANNY - INNIT !


Jimmy the Squirrel is a 5 piece ska punk band from London/Nottingham, taking influences from ska, punk and reggae bands from all over the world. Having played together since February 2005 the band's sound has evolved through punk and ska into a more stripped down ska/reggae/punk sound in the vein of Bedouin Soundclash, Babar Luck, and the King Blues. Jimmy's formative months saw regular gigs and parties in Nottingham which branched out to other cities and areas as the band's confidence and momentum grew, taking in gigs with The Big, King Blues, Catch-It Kebabs, Fandangle, P.
O Box and Mouthwash, and a tour with Babar Luck along the way
