JONNY HEPBIR GYPSY JAZZ GUITARIST performing in Kent 25th-27th October.
This weekend I'm really looking forward to three Public gigs in Ashford and Whitstable.
The first is on Friday 25th October 8-10pm at Low-Key Tap Room 39-41 Bank Street in Ashford.
This is one of the many great grass-roots music events being put on by the good people at Create Music Village. You can catch me playing a couple of sets of swinging Django Reinhardt inspired Swing Guitar as part of their excellent live music initiative throughout October.
The next day Saturday 26th October 3-3.45pm I'll be playing a shorter set at the Gencraft24 Craft Beer Festival in conjunction with Low-Key Tap Room and Create Music Village at The Ashford Cinema Elwick Road, Ashford TN23 1 AE.
This was a cool event to be part of last year and all the music programmed in October is pretty broad, right across the spectrum of everything, so it's really nice to be asked back for these two gigs representing Team Django!
Topping off the weekend on Sunday 27th October from 5pm at The Horsebridge Centre 11 Horsebridge Road, Whitstable, Kent CT5 1AF, you can find me performing with the Louise Cookman Quartet in a special concert presenting 'Queens of Swing'.
Louise Cookman and her musicians, present a tribute to the talented women whose voices define the sound of the swing era, featuring songs made famous by Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Peggy Lee, Anita O’Day and more! Louise has been the vocalist with many of the best known swing and big bands in the UK, from the Pasadena Roof Orchestra and The Glenn Miller Orchestra, to the Syd Lawrence Orchestra, Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Orchestra and the BBC Big Band. She also assumes the role of Martha Tilton in Pete Long’s acclaimed recreation of Benny Goodman’s famous 1938 Carnegie Hall Concert and has presented special shows for the Jazz Centre UK and other venues exploring the technique and vocal style of the 1930s and 1940s.
I'll be very happy playing with my Pocket Basie Band boss and Big Band supremo Peter Long and the groovy Jerome Davies while we lay down the swing vibes for Louise to do her thing.
