Meet the Bulles de Swing event musicians who will be performing at your party or wedding, through a short biography.
Vihuela Deshogues, violinist
I am the person who will accompany you in the musical preparation of your event.
After starting the violin at the age of five, I practiced for fifteen years in the “classical style” before turning to jazz and improvised music. I have some twenty years’ experience in event music.
I also hold a Diplôme d’études musicales (DEM) in jazz and improvised music from the Conservatoire à rayonnement régional de Caen.
My technical skills enable me to tackle all styles (baroque/classical music, jazz, swing, gypsy jazz, Irish music, traditional Russian music, pop, variety, bossa nova… ), my preferred styles being jazz and swing.
I draw my inspiration from the diversity of repertoires and the uniqueness of each event.

Anthony Marie, guitarist
I was brought up on the Beatles and quickly got into the groovy music (Blues, Funk, Reggae, Rhythm’n’Blues, etc.).
Two years abroad and a series of encounters led to an interest in Latin music, particularly Bossa Nova, which enriched my rhythmic and harmonic playing. I then took part in various projects (Nova, Edo Feeling Band, Simply Soul, etc.).
Then it was my encounter with Vihuela and the Swing Uppercut group that led me to swing and gypsy jazz, music I play with unflagging pleasure..
Hugues Letort, double bass player
I’ve been a professional musician for 25 years, starting out on guitar as a teenager, before joining the jazz class at Caen Conservatoire at the age of 23, first on bass, then on double bass.
I went on to play double bass in a number of bands in the Normandy region, in a variety of styles: Muz’ Nouch (French chanson), Bakelite All Stars (ska), Mazarski (gypsy jazz), Afro Lion Sextet (jazz), Play Own Play (jazz), V D (chanson rock), etc.
Franck Robin, double bass player
Franck Robin is a double bassist and saxophonist who recently settled in our beautiful Normandy region.
This new life follows a good thirty years spent in the Paris region, where he taught music (conservatoire d’Orsay, CIM, Bernard Mauri’s Beaubourg jazz school…) and took part in numerous jazz formations ranging from duo to big band in all types of venues, from jazz clubs to big stages…
His extensive experience of playing in public has made him a reliable and much-appreciated musician.
