deal about the musical and social influences of this very atmospheric City.  I also have a large record and c.d. collection which I listen to to learn from the original greats. Both myself and the other lads in the band enjoy listening to and socialising with other bands and musicians and the band is always willing to play new tunes.

The band does not have a residency, but we appear regularly at "The Maltings Jazz Club,"" Swingate Inn," and "Louis Armstrong;" in Dover, so you can always catch the band some time at these venues.

We also play  major jazz clubs in the UK and are invited to play on the Festival circuit such as Bude, Upton, Barnsley, Hayes etc. regularly.

Because of my involvement with three jazz breaks with "Warner Holidays" at Hayling Island, Nantwich and Lowestoft, the band gets a regular spot on those events, usually with a guest musician or two.

For several years I have arranged tours for the band with guests from New Orleans, i.e. Chris Tyle and Tim Laughlin.  This year Tim will be with us in May and June and Chris is with us in August again..It is always very stimulating and enjoyable  to play with both these very talented and experienced players from "The Big Easy".
