This is the second in the series of Django’s Legacy concerts showcasing the stunning music of legendary guitarist Django Reinhardt. World renowned gypsy jazz guitarist Robin Nolan has fused the worlds of his guitar heroes Django Reinhardt and Angus Young.
His latest album Sin City features AC/DC classics given a gypsy jazz makeover. The result is a ground breaking, exciting and new sound. It all started with the creation of ‘Djangus’, a devilish red acoustic gypsy guitar made in the style of Angus Young’s Gibson S.G. which Robin uses.
Enjoy an evening of Django classics, Gypsy Jazz, Swing, and Beatles mixed with AC/DC classics played like you’ve never heard them before! Robin Nolan (guitar) is joined by Kevin Nolan (rhythm guitar) and Arnoud van den Burg (double bass).
