A
gig
held at The Jam Jar
on Saturday 15th June. The event starts at 19:30.
Topette!! are a band of highly regarded musicians from England and France, who play acoustic folk tunes, for dancing and listening. They began in 2014, after meeting in France a couple of years earlier. Right from the start, their mission was to have fun with the music, drawing on their diverse backgrounds and influences to create something fresh, exciting and innovative. The name of the band comes from the Poitou-Charentes region of France, where they met. It literally means a little bottle or shot of liquor, but in the local slang it has come to mean “Cheers!"
The band will be creating a celebratory atmosphere, every night of their 10th Anniversary UK Tour, so don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience what Topette!! is all about. The “Balfolk” style of dancing is easy to pick up, very relaxed and a lot of fun, but if you don’t fancy dancing, just sit and enjoy the top quality musicianship from this unique quintet.
