Subject: RE: Looking for gypsy jazz venues in the UK From: GUEST,Matt Milton Date: 18 Aug 09 - 07:06 AM Your first port of call – THE gypsy jazz venue in the UK – is Le Quecumbar www.quecumbar.co.uk You should also get in touch with the guy that runs www.lejazzetal.com His name is Dave Kelbie davekelbie@lejazzetal.com +44 (0) 7967 728259 He organizes Gypsy Jazz tours of the UK Also, there's a guy who's just started putting on gigs in Preston that was looking specifically for world music/jazz type stuff who might be interested: josephmaclaren@yahoo.co.uk |
Subject: RE: Looking for gypsy jazz venues in the UK From: GUEST Date: 18 Aug 09 - 08:54 AM MADD in Faringdon are very much alive to eclectic music. They have put on Cajun events recently. Well worth considering. (Countess of) Huntingdon Hall in Worcester ditto. And if you contact them early enough maybe the Sub Rooms in Stroud - they put on some very good events also the Space in Stroud and the Prema Arts Centre in Uley maybe let us know where you get to. And tell me if in my area. |

Subject: RE: Looking for gypsy jazz venues in the UK From: GUEST,John from "Elsie`s Band" Date: 18 Aug 09 - 10:55 AM Pierre "Kamlo" Barre played at a Django/gypsy/ Manouche festival some years back in Gossington, I think . Try dave_roach@hotmail.com to see if the International Gypsy Music Festival is still live over here. I met the Pierre and some other "Djangoists" in Paris. Mind blowing!! |

Subject: RE: Looking for gypsy jazz venues in the UK From: greg stephens Date: 18 Aug 09 - 11:53 AM The New Victoria Theatre in Newcstle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire (NB not to be confused with Newcastle-on-Tyne)puts on a fair few guitar/jazz/world orientated concerts, worth looking at their programme on their website and see if your band fits the profile at all. That is a 300 seater theatre. For a smaller venue, very jazz orientated, the Old Brown Jug (a pub), also in Newcastle-under-Lyme, might be worth a look. |
