Django Reinhardt’s grandson David Reinhardt (above) will be just 23 when he opens a centenary festival at the Quecumbar in Battersea on January 17th 2010 .
The first tickets are going on sale on SUNDAY.
More programme details on the Quecumbar’s website here, and we’ll have more to say, with a Gallic shrug… quand cela nous plaira.
