Hi everybody!

Here is the second Gypsy jazz video I recorded with John Wheatcroft  in October 2016.
In this video we are performing “Diangology”, a tune written by Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli.

John used to be my teacher back in 2010 and it’s a big honour to be performing with him, if you want to catch us playing live, come down to the Troubadour in London on March 23rd!

We’ll be performing a set of Gypsy Jazz tunes as a guitar duo, you really don’t want to miss John’s exquisite playing.

The video was made by the guys at Big Baggy Bounce Studios in West London, who did such a great job!

Hope you enjoyed this little video!

Yours Truly,

Filippo
