"Pushing the genre of ‘gypsy jazz’ in London forward into a modern sphere" Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club

Harry Diplock is at the forefront of Django Reinhardt-inspired jazz in the UK and a co-founder of the London Django Collective.

Harry has played all over Europe at sold out venues such as Ronnie Scott’s, Royal Albert Hall, Pizza Express Soho Jazz Club, Duc Des Lombards (Paris), Torino Jazz Club (Turin) and 606 Jazz Club. His music has also been regularly played on TSF Jazz Radio, BBC 3 and Jamie Cullum’s Radio show.
