The Swingin Nettles are a Gypsy Jazz band from south Pembrokeshire playing in the style of greats such as Stephane Grapelli and Django Rheinhardt.
They are Robbie Godwin (violin, guitar, vocals), Vince Pereczes (guitar vocals), Jerome Duffell (guitar, vocals), David Grifftihs (double bass), and Tegid Roberts (clarinet, guitar,vocals). All are veterans of other local bands - Robbie was recently seen performing at Tomos Newman's album launch in Manorbier and David is also a member of Shanty Le Hara who launched their album a week or so ago in Pembroke.
All songs are taken from the band's new 12 track album and are classic covers except All Human Beings which was written by Vince.
