----------------------------------------
WHATCLUB was formed in Winter 2006 by guitarist Richard Palmer, second guitarist Jochum Juslin and acoustic bassist Kjell Dahl. The group initially worked together as a trio, occasionally collaborating with other musicians such as cellist Svante Henryson, violin player Mikko-Ville Luolajan-Mikkola, clarinetist Antti Sarpila and singer Johanna Grüssner.
In the spring of 2011, violin player Andreas Nyberg joined the group.

Their music is a modernized style of ‘gypsy swing’ or ‘jazz manouche’, a European form of acoustic jazz music, first performed by the Quintette du Hot Club de France in Paris in the 1930s. Apart from traditional swing, the group explores various Latin rhythms such as bolero, rumba and bossa nova.
