Voted ‘Best Band’ twice at the Scottish Jazz Awards, Rose Room are Scotland’s leading ensemble
influenced by the Gypsy Jazz genre. Sharing a love of Swing music and the style of the great Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli, their “vigorous and vivacious” performances go “down a storm” with any audience as they serve up their 1930s ‘Hot Club’ standards, Gypsy Jazz favourites and self-penned originals with virtuosity, verve and panache recreating the excitement of Rive Gauche Paris.
Celebrating their 15th anniversary in 2025, the quartet is based in Glasgow and is fronted by award winning virtuoso violinist and “sophisticated songstress” Seonaid Aitken who was voted Scottish Jazz Awards ‘Best Vocalist’ in 2017 & 2018, presented BBC Radio Scotland’s ‘Jazz Nights’ for 6 years and is a regular tutor at the Grappelli-Django Camp in The Netherlands. Scotland’s No.1 guitar maker, Jimmy Moon of ‘Moon Guitars’, features on double bass with Celtic Connections’ Danny Kyle Award-winner Tam Gallagher on rhythm guitar and vocals. Having played with Rose Room for 5 years now, the ‘newest’ member of the band is an exceptional talent from Glasgow’s Southside – solo guitarist Conor Smith – known for his work with hugely popular band The Vintage Explosion.
‘It’s Been A Long, Long Time’ is the long-anticipated new album by Rose Room.
