Musician, saxophonist, band manager, performance artist and street performer Stephane Spitz concieved the idea of his Swervy World following a chance meeting with 'The Crazy World of Arthur Brown' in a pub in Plymouth in 1994. - "The Swervy World of Stephane Spitz" was born.

By 1994, Stephane already had a good long history of street performing, playing solo or in street bands as a way of life and an income while the adventure of what is around the next bend took a hold over his inquisitive mind.

The Swervy World of Stephane Spitz - has, is, and will always be, a collective of musicians that Stephane is able to put together at the time. Building a reputation on excellent improvisation skills, knowlegde of jazz standards, a willing to travel, and incorporating theatre and costume into a show... Stephane collates a colourful variety of performers and then uses his wit and experience to direct the raggle taggle crew into a presentable show.

 

It is always going to be a tight situation with rehearsals happening sometimes only in musicians heads and then honing in performance technique by utilising the street, funded by the tipping hat. Sometimes there is little budget and shows can be "seat of yer pants" .. that can have its own charm.. No two shows will ever be exactly the same. An audience can understand what they are witnessing is unique to that specific moment which is, in  its essence, what gives the troupe its unique reputation.

    Performers who get invited into Stephane's Swervy World will be (with one or two exceptions) full time musicians with a strong history of street entertaining.  

Along with the band, Stephane hires himself out as a "solo street saxophonist and sophisticated scene stealer for specialised saxophonic services" under the stage name "Sax Stephano"
