What's not to like?

JoAnne Hughes No other band has the unerring ear-grabbing ability to fill a dance floor like Topette!! has. Their music reaches across generations and cultures. This live recording gives you a sense of what being at a Topette!! bal is like and it's wonderful!!! Favorite track: Bourrée Morvandelle / La Lustrée.

oriola JoAnne Hughes said it all, nothing to add!
Diese Band ist so grandios, groovig, die Arrangements so gut - da kann man gar nicht stillsitzen!

about

In January 2014, Barn Stradling invited his Blowzabella bandmate Andy Cutting, East Anglian fiddler James Delarre and two French musical friends, Tania Buisse and Julien Cartonnet to his home in Bristol, to see what would happen. After three days of playing music, eating, drinking and a great deal of laughter, a new band called Topette!! happened...

In 2024, Topette!! release their fourth album, ON - Live at The Jam Jar. Recorded on a warm night in June, 2023, the album features exuberant renditions of favourite tracks from their three studio albums - C’est le Pompon (2017), Rhododendron (2019) and Bourdon (2022). ON is a brilliant recording, full of atmosphere and the sounds of happy dancers, blending with the music.
