Swing from Paris are back at Isbourne Arts.

After a sell-out perfromace at the Izzy last August, they're back!

This all-string jazz quartet of violin (Fenner Curtis), guitars (Andy Bowen and Sam Hughes) and double bass (Tomasz Williams), is inspired by the music of the 1930s, '40s and '50s: from Benny Goodman, Charlie Christian and Artie Shaw to Django Reinhardt, Stephane Grappelli and the master of tango Astor Piazzolla.

Their Parisian flavoured jazz and gypsy swing has been thrilling audiences for over 15 years from major jazz festivals to the BBC's hairy bikers and the opening of Gloucester Services.

Tickets £20 standard, £14 under-26

Seating will be theatre style in the main auditorium and on church pews in the balcony.

Doors and bar open 45 minutes before the performance starts.

'Musical chemistry that sets the stage ablaze'

Brooks Williams, “Top 100” acoustic guitarist and singer songwriter, with violinist Aaron Catlow, founder of Sheelanagig, create a fiery, fearless sound of Americana, folk and country blues.

There’s the bluegrass-swing of Gillian Welch’s “Red Clay Halo,” complete with aw-shucks whistling; the Celtic-blues of their self-penned “Anniesland”, a song for the late-great Rab Noakes; and their metal-like riff-driven arrangement of Molly Tuttle’s “Dooley’s Farm.”

With three highly praised albums to date, the Williams-Catlow high-energy collaboration will release and tour their fourth album this year, provisionally called Working in Wood.

“How such a complete and sensational sound can come from just two voices and two instruments is awe-inspiring.” AmericanaUK

The sound of the century: Tom McRae comes to Isbourne Arts

The songs you know by heart, a few you'd half forgotten, and the candid, witty storytelling between them that makes a Tom McRae show feel less like a concert and more like a long conversation with someone who has been paying close attention to the world.

And it's all on stage at Isbourne Arts this autumn. This is one of our stand out shows of 2026.

McRae's critically acclaimed debut earned him nominations for the Mercury Prize, a Q Award and the BRIT Award for Best Newcomer. In the quarter century since, he has built one of the most quietly devoted audiences in British music across ten albums — from Just Like Blood and The Alphabet of Hurricanes to his most recent record Étrange Hiver — while resisting every

fashion that might have made him more famous and every shortcut that might have made him less himself.

Following the sell-out full band tour marking twenty-five years since his debut album, Tom McRae brings his career-spanning solo show to intimate venues this Autumn — an evening of live music and storytelling that moves between the beloved and the overlooked, with the wit and honesty that has made him one of Britain's most enduring singer-songwriters — alone on stage with a guitar and a catalogue that has quietly accumulated some of the finest songs in British folk and alternative music.

Tickets: £21.50 standard and £15.50 under-26

Tom McRae on stage from 7.30pm. Doors and bar open at 6.45pm.
