Heavily influenced by the likes of Django Reinhardt and Chet Atkins, Stephan's music is a mixture of slow melodic jazz and fast, jolly gypsy music. Throughout his music Stephan's incredible skill and technique can be heard from his vibrato to his incredible runs up and down the guitar neck.

Petites Annonces

Formed by a Frenchman, ex-Paris punk but now local resident Jipé Gérardin, Petites Annonces came about in an unusual way - a small ad in the local magazine - hence the name, (it means Small Ads in French).
Petites Annonces play a unique mix of gypsy jazz (Django Reinhardt et al), those bonnes old french chansons, and a genre unknown until now in this country : "Punk Manouche". Be prepared to hear something different avec un accent francais!
