That’s right…. who’d have thought it, another year beckons… and we’re a year older. Yes we’re back amongst familiar surroundings for our inaugural event of 2012. And with four dates in January, there’s another four chances to fill your Sunday afternoons with food, drink, laughter and of course plenty of LIVE JAZZ.
The residents have been using their festive time off to add some jewels to their already burgeoning collections (Shout out to Jarred on this one, who brought back 60 odd jazz pieces from his Canadian expedition) and this month we also welcome some great guest DJs with Phil Levene (Eclectic Jazz) and deep diggers Alan McKinnon and Rob Le Marchand joining proceedings on selected dates. We also see another return for Nik Woodmansey of Emanative (Currently riding high with his Steve Reid ‘Lions of Judah‘ remake) who seems to have been making us his second home recently! He’ll be celebrating his lickle birthday and ting with another cheeky DJ set on the January 8th. We’re so showering him with all this kindness so we can get his Emanative live project in the building at some point *wink*… watch this space, but in the meantime, pop down and buy him a cider, he likes Pear if memory serves!
Band wise we’re rather excited to present the explosive talent that is our on/off drummer Francesco Mendolia on the 22nd for a rare jazz trio outing. Never have we had so much interest in a musician than our Italian brother Francesco whenever he pops in to lay down a backbeat and with past performances for The Ennio Morricone Orchestra, Incognito, Gizelle Smith & The Mighty Mocambos, Sun Energy, El Topo and Barbara Luna to name but a few, we’re in for a treat.
Hope you can join us for one of this month’s sessions.
