Good to see this thread back

Although it now seems to have morphed into the old Tune for Today thread.

As long as people are talking about music then that’s okay

At an age approaching 76, and as a retired semi-pro guitarist, my tastes vary. As per my moniker on here I was, and still am, a huge Bluenile fan (not a Scummer as one numpty thought). 5 years between the first album and the second wasn't due to laziness, but purely a matter of quality over quantity. Others are Steely Dan, anything with Donald Fagen's name on it, Boz Scaggs. Guitar-wise, Robben Ford. Jazz, including Wes Montgomery, Chet Baker, and probably the best live gig in Swansea this year, Jamie Cullum.

Great to know there’s another Jazz fan here, we’ve had many great guitarists at the club. Have you been to the club? More to the point do I know you?

I need to visit this club.. right up my street

Yes, I've been to the club on many occasions. My favourite gigs there are when Hamish Stuart (ex Average White Band) and his band play. Now postponed til at least next Spring. The club seems to be changing venues too often, lately.

Was listening to "across the rooftops" earlier. Whilst I typically like pretty alternative stuff, it's such a beautiful record. There's an alternate universe where 'Tinseltown in the Rain' was number one for weeks.

He’s been to see Dweezil Zappa mind.

Venues for our jazz club are quite plentiful at the moment as our last venue unfortunately closed, so please keep an eye on the website for all latest info

At least it’s not Cheap Trick.

The venue changes are beyond the club’s control at the moment. Cu Mumbles, our last place has closed its doors and finding a suitable venue is tricky as size of crowd varies for different events obviously. We are currently in negotiations with a few places within Swansea and have already booked a few in the Grand Theatre Arts Wing for next year. Hamish is definitely on the cards again, will be a superb show as always.

Just to add …
Swansea Jazz Club, in its various guises, is the longest running weekly jazz club in Britain
It will be 76 years this year and hoping to carry on supporting LIVE music for many years to come.

Yes, we were both there on that night, Dar, but somehow you managed a photo with Dweezil, not like you . I was always proud when my daughter was young and in the car with me, off to her dance/acting class, and she'd ask me to put Frank on the car stereo!
