Rose Room With Seonaid Aitken Rose Room return to the Rothes Halls to launch their second album of Gypsy Jazz and 1930s Swing favourites. Featuring local virtuoso violinist and vocalist Seonaid Aitken, guitar maker to the stars Jimmy Moon on double bass, and Swing Guitars’ Tam Gallagher and Tom Watson on rhythm and lead guitars respectively, this exciting acoustic band will charm and entertain you with their “vigorous and vivacious” performances of ‘Hot Club’ Jazz standards with a dash of Western Swing thrown in for good measure. Formed in 2010, Rose Room have already become regulars at the Bute and Kirkcudbright Jazz Festivals, and have performed at the prestigious Ullapool Guitar Festival, St. Magnus Festival (Orkney) and Cork Jazz Festival (Ireland), and their debut album Somewhere In Roseland ranked no.15 in Jazz FMs top albums of the year. “…as close to the sound of the great Stephane Grappelli as I think you’re going to hear in Scotland.” BBC Radio Scotland
