Crowned "best band" twice at the Scottish Jazz Awards, Rose Room are Scotland's leading ensemble influenced by Hot Club swing. 2025 marks their 15th anniversary as a band and they are celebrating with the release of new album 'It's Been A Long, Long Time' - a collection of their favourite tunes, songs and guest musicians that they've "gathered" throughout their time as a band.Led by virtuoso violinist, Scottish Jazz Award-winning vocalist, BBC broadcaster and Grappelli-Django Camp tutor Seonaid Aitken, Rose Room's other longstanding members are Scotland's No.1 guitar maker Jimmy Moon on double bass and Danny Kyle Award-winning Tam Gallagher on rhythm guitar. The "newest" member of the band (joining in 2020) is an exceptional talent from Glasgow's Southside; solo guitarist Conor Smith - known for his work with popular band The Vintage Explosion.
Rose Room have collaborated with world-famous finger-style guitar virtuoso Martin Taylor MBE, British Jazz violinist Christian Garrick, German gypsy jazz star Joscho Stephan and Children's Classic Concerts - with whom they perform their show "Django's Journey". They have regularly returned to entertain audiences in the islands with their thrilling live show, having first visited for Shetland Folk Festival a decade ago.
Expect the effervescent sound of Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli as they serve up a mix of 1920 and 30s standards, French chanson, original music and gyspy jazz favourites with their signature flair and fireworks!
