Hi Folks,
Or as Gilly Potter used to say, “Hello England”.
And this weeks Nag will be almost full of things to go out to in the evenings! And in England!!
Tonight is a First Tuesday. On First Tuesdays Mo runs Jazz at The Bourne End Community Centre bar. And this being no exception, for a small fee (£4 still I think, I may be wrong) you can hear from 8.30 onwards Davey Jones Trad Band, AND pick up a light supper at half time and even possibly win a raffle prize with your entry ticket!!
So, having swallowed that, you may like to know the future bookings for this event? Well
April 3rd it will be Al Nicholls and his quartet.
May 1st they will have Danish Singer Katya Kaplinski and her trio.
Whilst still in The Bourne End Community Centre area, on April 14th at 7.30, Mo is running her annual jazz supper, which is a 2 COURSE MEAL, WITH The Northside Jazzband (a traditional group) all for a £14 ticket
On May 11th (a Friday) I am promoting another concert at Bourne End to raise money for Cancer Research UK. This year it is entitled “From Dixeland to Swing”. It will be Café style seating, so that you can bring your own picnic, and tickets for that will be £10 each. The musical ensemble will be led by Clive Burton, a trusted player for all of the jazz styles that we will represent that night.

Wednesday Nights
Al Nichols has written :
"Hi Geoff,
Have got my dates for the King & Castle in March:
14th & 28th both with Rex Bennett on drums & Bob Haddrell on electric piano (& bass pedals!)
Jeff Williams trio are doing the other Wednesdays.
Cheers, Al"
That’s in Windsor from 6.30 to 9pm.
On Friday 16th March you can see Al with his entire band (Blue Harlem) at Maidenheads Norden Farm, tickets for which are still available.
Thursdays at The Hedsor Social Club we have the following line up of guests with The Clive Burton Quintet:
This week (8th March) quixotic reedman Clem Adelman
March 15th Tenor man John Rolls
We still need to confirm the 22nd, but for March 29th it will be wonderful trumpet player Pete Towndrow.
Hedsor Thursdays start at 8.30 pm, will cost you £3 to get in and a raffle ticket or 15 to get out!!
Sundays
At the Fifield Inn, from 7.30 pm, Century Jazz have as their guests:-
March 11th Pete Davis AND Clem Adleman
March 18th John Coverdale, a very accomplished guitar player
March 25th The Amazing saxophonist John Barnes! Yep, that’s right, ex Alex Welsh, ex Humph, ex cellent! Don’t miss out!
April 1st, nobodies fool Simon Spillett, of whose new CD “Introducing Simon Spillett” Humph said last night it was “formidable”. But we’ve know that for ages haven’t we!! Simon told me of a fan who purchased Simons new cd, and told him that he always listened to his jazz cd’s on his exercise bike. Some time after the purchase, he saw Simon again, and told him it had given him the hardest workout of his life!!
Sundays are going to be come a battle for many peoples consciences, because recently started at The Red Lion in Bradenham Village, on the A4010 out of West Wycombe, Bobby Orr is leading a jazz night from 6.30 pm ‘till 9pm.
Its raffle funded and next Sunday the line up is Bobby on Drums, Paul Morgan on bass, Don Innes piano and KELVIN CHRISTIANE on sax. It runs every other Sunday.
Mondays
Starting on Monday 26th March, and then hopefully every last Monday of the month, at The Hedsor social Club, I am starting a new venture to illustrate the place of the guitar in jazz. As a start we have James Fenn leading an ensemble of his choice, which includes bass guitarist Lisa Amato, with probable additional drums and sax as yet unspecified. £5 entry, no raffle and absolutely all money raised will go the musicians, so come along in your droves please.
The last Monday of April the guest guitarists will be Tim Saunders and MAX BRITAIN.
IF I can persuade you to come out in sufficient numbers, we will try to make this a regular event.
Well, I think that’s enough for now. Next week, hopefully some CD revues, including the Al Nicholls Blue Harlem album, just in time for his Norden Farm Concert!!
