Stuart Carter-Smith has a well-earned reputation as a top class Gypsy Jazz guitarist. Stuart studied and performed the classical guitar, but soon fell in love with the music of Django Reinhardt and his post-classical studies took him to work with some of the finest names in that genre both in the UK and overseas. He experiments with new rhythms and styles of playing, but these are always delivered with the solid underpinning of his first love: the musical style of Django.

Paul Gregory is highly rated and has played with, some of the best musicians throughout the U.K and abroad. Growing up listening to his father, a talented musician in his own right, he now continues this musical legacy. Blending the Jazz Manouche (Gypsy Jazz) Guitar style of Django Reinhardt with Contemporary Jazz Guitar, Latin / Spanish Guitar, and many others, he continues to improve the diversity, vibrance and ingenuity of his repertoire pushing back boundaries, with inspiring and inventive performances.

Noreen Cullen is a fiddle-player who genuinely sounds like no one else. Her repertoire encompasses Irish, Folk, Gypsy, Country, Blues, Pop and Rock resulting in a style that is completely individual. A formidable bow hand and free-form fingering have led more than one observer to talk of the Hendrix of the Violin. She has performed many times on TV and Radio, headlined concerts at the Sydney Opera House, appeared at the Barbican with the Royal Shakespeare Company and performed in both Riverdance and Lord of the Dance. She plays regularly with world leading guitarists such as Gary Potter and is in demand as a session player for both recordings and live performance.
