A new venue to me, but not to m'colleague, for whom it is a hometown gig. This one's a restaurant, and Sam assures me the food is really excellent. So, if you're in the area, book for dinner by calling 07368498158. I don't know the set times yet, but I'm sure the venue can tell you. Two gigs on consecutive nights makes this our South East tour! ACE funding to follow surely...?

If the weather's nice, we'll be outside, in really beautiful surroundings.

SAMUEL MOORE & JAMIE TAYLOR -
Upstairs@Ronnie's, Ronnie Scott's, Frith Street
London W1D 4HT, 7pm
Samuel Moore & Jamie Taylor (guitars)
Not a duo performance, but rather two contrasting solo sets - one of solo jazz guitar from yours truly, and another of solo flamenco from the superb Samuel Moore. We had an absolute blast doing this back in October last year, and the response was very encouraging, so we thought we'd go again. Two completely different but related guitar traditions on show - amazing the diversity you can get with six strings and a wooden box! I've never played at Ronnie's with anyone who wasn't called Samuel. Extraordinary run...

JAMIE TAYLOR guests with the house trio
Scarborough Jazz Club, The Cask Inn,
Cambridge Terrace, YO11 2LQ, 8.30pm

Long may my Scarborough trips continue; they are always a joy. A lovely audience and an equally lovely house trio. I don't know whether it's Mike or Mark on keys this time; it has even been known for them to take turns. One thing's certain, it will be great fun whatever the combination.
