Le QuecumBar is a music venue and brasserie in Battersea, London, England dedicated to Gypsy Swing and the music of Django Reinhardt.[1][2]
History
The venue originally opened as The Woodman, a typical London pub, before being renamed as "The Original Woodman" due to a pub with the same name opening nearby.[3] It was rebranded as Le QuecumBar on 11th February 2003 for the 50th anniversary of Django Reinhardt's death and is still the only music venue in the world of its kind.[citation needed] It features regular live music and concerts by Gypsy Swing musicians,[4] including Fapy Lafertin.[5] Johnny Depp visited the venue in order to study the character of Roux in the film Chocolat.[6]
Le Q Records
The independent record label owned by Le QuecumBar specializes in live recordings of bands that have performed at the venue. The Shadows' Hank Marvin has appeared on live recordings,[7] and the venue's recording of 'When I Was A Boy' by Biel Ballester was featured on the soundtrack of Woody Allen's film, Vicki Cristina Barcelona.[8] The Angelo Debarre quartet have recorded a live album at the venue, which was released on Lejazzetal records.[9]
