Benoit Viellefon is a French crooner à la mode vintage. He performs the gorgeous 1920s - 1950s ballroom dance music from Europe, Cuba, and the USA with a very distinctive French sound and a nostalgic, happy and romantic feel.
His orchestra is made of nothing but internationally renowned musicians that between them have performed with the likes of Georgie Fame, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix and Jools Holland. They are rapidly establishing a fearsome reputation with dancers, dreams and lovers alike. Be prepared for a nostalgic time with vin rouge and accordion.
