Seonaid Aitken (violin/vocals); Tom Watson (lead guitar/vocals); Tam Gallagher (rhythm guitar/vocals); Jimmy Moon (double bass).
Scottish Jazz Awards finalists Rose Room have become one of Scotland’s leading ensembles influenced by the Gypsy Jazz genre. Sharing a love of Swing music and the style of the great Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli, their “vigorous and vivacious” performances seem to go “down a storm” with any audience as their 1930s ‘Hot Club’ standards and self-penned originals are always served up with great energy and panache.
Based in Glasgow, the quartet features award-winning virtuoso violinist and vocalist Seonaid Aitken (who also performs with Scottish Opera, folk singer Roddy Woomble and recently orchestrated the music for the BBC/Richard Curtis film ‘Esio Trot’), guitar maker to the stars Jimmy Moon on double bass, and Danny Kyle Award-winners ‘Swing Guitars’ Tam Gallagher and Tom Watson on rhythm and lead guitars respectively.
With two albums recorded to date - ‘Somewhere In Roseland’ (2011) and ‘Am I Blue’ (2013) - Rose Room have headlined at all of the major Scottish Jazz Festivals, have appeared at the celebrated Shetland Folk Festival, and have toured Ireland and performed at the Limavady Jazz and Blues Festival and the Guinness Cork Jazz Festival.
