FIRST SATURDAY OF THE MONTH

Don't miss the mighty sound of Pete “Tiger” Sheppard & Co, stonking gypsy swing guitar.  We delight in Pete's fast and furious Gypsy Swing guitar - just as the name suggests!

Weekly Music Residency

SWINGING CATS

Led by Richard White, well-known multi-instrumentalist and whispering vocalist on clarinet,

bass sax (or anything else that comes to hand!) accompanied either by sensational pianist

Colin Good or world-class jazz guitarist Martin Wheatley.  The Swinging Cats invite you to

take a sentimental journey of vintage versatility – rare 1920s tunes, torch-songs, novelties and

red-hot instrumental jazz - all generously seasoned with their own distinctive brand of

irreverent quirkiness.
