The Benoit Viellefon Hot Club has earned its place as a favourite at some of the most sophisticated venues across the country. Drawing inspiration from the vibrant, swinging sounds of Parisian cafés and nightclubs of the 1920s and 1930s, the band delivers a nostalgic yet timeless musical experience.
Their repertoire spans the golden age of 1920s to 1940s music, attracting dancers and listeners who travel far and wide to enjoy Swing, Balboa, and Lindy Hop, often dressed in their finest vintage attire.
As a sought-after act at vintage festivals, prestigious events across Europe, and holding residencies in London’s most exclusive clubs and concert halls, the Hot Club has also been featured in Hollywood films, national TV and radio, and has performed for high-profile audiences including the Royal Family and Madonna.
The ensemble pays homage to iconic artists such as Django Reinhardt, Stéphane Grappelli, Yves Montand, Fats Waller, Nat King Cole, and Ella Fitzgerald. Their performances seamlessly blend the romanticism and nostalgia of French chansons with the spirited energy of American hot jazz, offering a perfect fusion of European elegance and American jazz exuberance.
Over the past decade, the band has played over 1,200 shows, captivating audiences from all walks of life. Pioneering the vintage culture revival of the late 2000s, the Benoit Viellefon Hot Club continues to charm a new generation with their music, style, and celebration of the golden era’s artistry and sophistication.
