Oh la la! Quartet

Close your eyes; you’re in Paris…

Oh la la mixes Parisian folk music (musette) and French chanson with unforgettable 20s upbeat to 50s smooth jazz, film noir/nouvelle vague film music, and the occasional rearranged cool 60s French pop tune, as well as original material from their upcoming album.

The dulcet tones of Parisian-born Fifi la Mer’s voice and the evocative sound of her accordion, blended with the talents of Oliver Wilby on clarinet, will take you straight back to that little café by the Eiffel Tower. Then, they will transport you to that buzzy jazz club by Pigalle, with the cool feel of Simon Picton on guitar and the groove of Julian Bury on double bass.

They have been performing over 1200 concerts over the past 10 years in venues up and down the countries including, Ronnie Scott’s, The Royal Opera House, Wilton’s Music Hall, The National Theatre, St Martin in the Fields, The Ignite and The Elgar Room at The Royal Albert hall. They have also played on the Orient Express, the Residence of the French Ambassador in London, Erdem’s catwalk London Fashion Week at Somerset House, and music festivals such as the London City Festival, Richmond World Music Festival, Bloomsbury Festival, The Royal Ascott. They are also appearing in the latest NatWest advert.

A very entertaining, fun and romantic evening assured.
