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. |

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!! |

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. |
