The JONNY HEPBIR GYPSY JAZZ TRIO will be playing at three different venues in Sussex this coming Sunday 13th October.
I'm really looking forward to playing some pure Django-style this coming weekend. We're definitely cramming the gigs and the notes in this Sunday at these well-established music venues.
I'll be joined by Jason Henson on guitar for all three and two of them will feature the superb violinist Matt Holborn.

BROADSTAIRS JAZZ FESTIVAL 4th - 5th October.
I had an amazing time performing at the inaugural Broadstairs Jazz Festival curated by Will Leeves of The Magnet.
With dozens of artists playing at ten different venues in Broadstairs, there was something for everyone. All the events were really well attended and audiences were treated to many different styles of Jazz over the weekend.
I helped kicked off the events at The Magnet on the Friday with Sam Dunn in a classic guitar duo celebrating the genius of Django Reinhardt & Wes Montgomery.
Next day lunchtime I was playing with Ivan Thompson & Jarrod Coombes in Metro Vipers at Sonder. This is great trio to play in although we don't get out as much as we have done in the past due to our respective main band commitments. But it's always top fun playing with my old friends and we had an enthusiastic audience to keep entertained.
The last gig I had, in fact one of the final events for the Festival, was Loulou Swing Trio featuring Louise Cookman on vocals & Jerome Davies on double bass at The George Inn.
Generally regarded as a 'Rock' pub, they decided to break the mold and join in the jazz fun. This was a good move as the venue filled out pretty quickly and we even got some of the crowd up and dancing.
On Saturday night I had an extra performance with the Loulou Swing Quintet for the 'Cinque Ports Lindy Hop 1940's Weekend' event at the stunning Walpole Bay Hotel & Museum in Margate.
We had the pleasure of playing for these lovely dancers last year too! The band was on hot form and consisted of myself, Louise and Jerome with the amazing Michael Coates on tenor saxophone and Rod Brown on drums.
The whole weekend was a fabulous experience playing with lots of great musicians and for lovely audiences.
