Full Biography
With their line up of two guitars and double bass, uniquely fronted by clarinet, bass-clarinet and vocals; this extremely popular Swansea band has been bringing audiences across Wales and the rest of the UK to their feet.
Playing feel-good, accessible, Gypsy Swing Jazz and Latin music, Paris Affair base their style on the Hot Club of France.

Individually, they have worked with artists such as Terry Hall, Cerys Matthews, Shakin’ Stevens, Simon Rattle and Max Boyce, and have made numerous recordings, live television appearances and radio broadcasts in a plethora of venues and circumstances all over the world. Together they've performed extensively at festivals, functions, exhibitions, parties, restaurants, schools (giving classes as well as performances), pubs and jazz clubs, town halls, temples and tents!
