Event Description

Van Django’s Christmas show has been a huge success at the St. James since 2013 - the band now returns for a 10th year! After two years of presenting their ‘Cool Yule’ virtually, they are excited to return to an in person show. And yes, the Ugly Christmas Sweater contest will return!

Renowned for the quality of their musicianship and as great entertainers, Van Django's variety show is a festive Christmas mix of jazz standards, nostalgic favourites, classical elements and pop tunes, plus a few surprises - all delivered in swinging gypsy jazz style. Folks of all ages can celebrate the season at this fun and festive Yuletime show. Joining Van Django's violinist Cameron Wilson, guitarist/cellist Finn Manniche and bassist Brent Gubbels will be guitarist/vocalist Andy Hillhouse and stellar vocalist L.J. Mounteney.

Van Django's music is punchy, driving and rhythmically inventive, combining a wealth of musical influences while maintaining strong roots in the gypsy jazz made famous by Django Reinhardt, Stephane Grappelli and the 1930's Quintet of the Hot Club of France.
