The act
Django-style swing, played properly. Gypsy Cats formed in Brisbane in 2016 as a trio built around Roberto Fontana, Mircha Mangiacotti and Daniele Avanzini, and they've since become one of the busier gypsy jazz outfits in the country. The repertoire moves between fast swing, gypsy bossa, older jazz ballads and French waltz, so a night with them isn't stuck in one gear. They've played Woodford, Brisbane Festival, OzManouche, Island Vibe and Yonder. Swing dancers have taken to them in particular, which tells you something about how tight the rhythm section is. PA and lighting can be supplied if your venue has none. They also carry public liability insurance.

Good to know
What to expect
Django-style swing played by people who've put the hours in. Gypsy Cats started in Brisbane in 2016 around Roberto Fontana, Mircha Mangiacotti and Daniele Avanzini, and they've grown into a quartet since. A set doesn't sit in one gear: fast swing, gypsy bossa, older jazz ballads and French waltz all get a run, along with their own writing. Woodford, Brisbane Festival, OzManouche, Island Vibe and Yonder are all on the list of stages they've played. Swing dancers have adopted them, and dancers are unforgiving about tempo, so take that as a compliment to the rhythm section.
On the day
If your room has no sound system, they'll bring a full PA and lighting with them. If it does, they'll work with what's there. Either way it's one less thing for you to organise with the venue.
Insurance and paperwork
Public liability insured.
