About Me

Swingville was formed in september 2007, by folk musician Christopher Hutchinson and Mark Lubbers, who studied jazz at the Dutch School of Music. Both guitar players met via other folk musicians and soon after were already doing shows together. A few weeks later the Gypsy Swing Jazz band Swingville was created.
Our repertoir

An evening with Swingville is an evening full of swing and dance rythms and easy-listening ballads. We love playing the many swinging Django Reinhardt tunes, the beautiful slower gypsy swing jazz tunes and Nat King Cole songs. :-)

Locations & events

Swingville is suited for any event. We've played at the bigger stages at festivals (Whiskey Festival of the North Netherlands), on many small stages at private parties, whiskey tastings, pubs & clubs or as background music on birthday parties, in art galleries or museums. Anything is possible! Contact us and we'll set up the perfect show for you. :-)

SWINGVILLE GYPSY SWING JAZZ ARE:

Christopher Hutchinson: lead vocals, guitar.

..

Singer-songwriter and promoter Christopher Hutchinson started off as a sound engineer and organizer of concerts and festivals. Next to this he also studied Law and spent his spare time on computers and the recording industry. He never really seriously picked up an instrument until his twenties. Today, Christopher is a well trained folk musician, and spent some years playing folk on stage with his girlfriend. Today he dedicates his time to Swingville and writing his own music.

Mark Lubbers: (solo) guitars

.. Mark studied jazz at the Dutch School of Music, after having been a 'guitar maniac' for 19 years. Since then, Mark travels many places to play in numerous jazz bands and with many different jazz musicians. He is more or less well known for being a chatterbox. We love his humour. :-)

Guest musicians: fiddle

..

Steve Bradshaw is Swingville's regular guest musician. This amazing fiddle player studied music at the School of Music in London and joined the London Symphony orchestra for a few years. Afterwards he traveled through Europe, playing music everywhere, and finally settled in Holland. We are most pleased to have this amazing musician on board.
