He has enjoyed a long career both as a leader of his own various bands and as a sideman, most famously with the band Fairground Attraction.

“Beaujolais is an ebullient performer with a dazzling four-mallet technique and it would no doubt be a hugely enjoyable experience to see and hear this music performed in a live context. – you have the opportunity”

“Listening to Beaujolais, you’d think that like one of his heroes, Milt Jackson, he was born to play the vibes. “
