Well, it’s been a while! Indoor events at TCAT are back with a bang this September. But how to get the ball rolling? Who can we invite to get the party started? Well…it was obvious really, we asked and they said yes ….it’s the excellent SOUL TRADERS.
The Soul Traders have been enthralling audiences far and wide with their mix of character, wit and authentic soul music for over 20 years.
Always popular wherever they appear, we are excited to welcome them back to TCAT for another night of fantastic music.
Dig out your dancing shoes (they are there somewhere hiding at the back of the wardrobe). See you there – it’s going to be emotional and fun!

The heartfelt wail of the blues; the sultry heat of the campfire; the crazy swirl of the bal musette, all fused together with virtuosity and passion in the melting pot of 1930’s Paris: the result was gypsy jazz. Now ‘LA VIE EN ROSE’ play this exuberant, toe-tapping music with a swing and joie-de-vivre as fresh today as when Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli first conjured it from the back streets of Pigalle.
The South-West’s favourite gypsy jazz and hot swing band has a well-earned reputation for its take on the ‘Hot Club’ style. Toe-tapping rhythms and soaring melodies combine in a virtuoso performance of gypsy favourites, jazz standards, soulful ballads and Latin swing, all played with the verve and joy that is the heart of this music.
