Latchepen
Overview

Booking Information

Lovers of swing jazz rejoice! Latchepen - featuring celebrated guitarists Kourosh Kanani and Dave Kelbie, violinist Matt Holborn, and Pete Thomas on bass – bring their iconic originals and beloved jazz classics to the Tea Lawn.

‘Latchepen’ is an exclamation of happiness in the Romani language, and their music reflects the passion and joy found in the gypsy jazz of the 1930s and beyond. The band was born out of a collective admiration of Django Reinhardt and anything that swings! Latchepen perform jazz on strings, with influences ranging from Romani music through to bebop. Led by the engaging and improvising Matt Holborn on violin, the quartet features Kourosh Kanani on lead guitar, Dave Kelbie on rhythm guitar and Pete Thomas on bass. Based in London, the group have played at many local venues including Southbank Centre and Ronnie Scotts, as well as across the UK and abroad at festivals such as the Django Reinhardt festival, Turin Jazz Festival, Edinburgh Fringe and March Manouche.

Booking Information

This performance will take place on the Tea Lawn at the back of Lauderdale House. 

If you would like to sit together, please book together, as spaces will be assigned based on your order.

Chairs will not be provided - please bring either a picnic blanket or a chair to make yourself comfortable. Audience members with chairs will be seated behind those on the ground to make sure that everyone has a good view. If you are booking as a group, the whole group will need to be on chairs or on blankets, rather than a mixture of the two.

We have a limited number of picnic tables and benches (see map below) available as group tickets – book these early to avoid disappointment. 

If you have a disability or any special requirements please get in touch with us so that we can best accommodate you.
