The Amigos

Monday 5th May, 1–3.30pm, in the Marquee Pavilion

For the 2008 Admiral Mumbles Mostly Jazz & Blues Festival, The Amigos will be appearing with a special festival six-piece line-up.

You'll probably never hear such a wide range of music as you would at an Amigos concert, all played with virtuosity and bucketfuls of passion.

Their repertoire includes over 500 tunes and songs varying from Gypsy Jazz, Trad Gypsy and Hot Club Jazz to Hungarian, Yiddish, Russian, Musette, Latin, Spanish, Tex-Mex, Samba, Rumba, Calypso and Celtic.

Founded by guitarists Gary Phillips and Andy King 11 years ago, the line-up now expands to include violin, accordion and double bass.

With their ability to instantly change their musical styles from all over the world, they regularly receive standing ovations at major festivals such as the Brecon Jazz Festival, Pontardawe International Folk Festival and Warwick and Leamington Festival. They have dazzled audiences with their spell-binding performances throughout the UK, Europe and the USA.
