Swing into spring with the dazzling sounds of Latchepen, a gypsy-jazz quartet, bound together by a mutual admiration for Django Reinhardt.

This March they’re heading to Dorset for a three-date tour brought to you by the ever-innovate Artsreach, the county’s touring arts charity.
Acoustic by nature, Latchepen perform on strings, with influences ranging from Romani music to be-bop.
Matt Holborn (violin), Kourosh Kanani (guitar), Dave Kelbie (guitar) and Simon Read (bass) hail from London where they regularly play venues including Ronnie Scott’s.
They’ve also been touring the UK, playing arts venues and village halls.

Between them, the musicians have wide-ranging experience of performing with leading figures in the genre from all over the world, the likes of the Django Reinhardt festival, Turin Jazz Festival and March Manouche UK.
