For now we are sticking with last year’s model of Tom and friends running the fantastic local jazz offer The Big Kettle with monthly jazz club special nights. We would love to be able to run more, but we are aware of the risk of booking bands and the potential need to cancel if there is covid disruption from either side. So hopefully we have struck a good balance and see how we go! We are currently only booking monthly visiting bands until Autumn 2023, but will keep our ears to the ground and if we feel able to offer more of these gigs then we will.
up Next - Duski
4th April 2023
Duski
Music Starts @ 7.30pm
FREE ENTRY - PWYC
Cardiff based quintet led by bassist and composer Aidan Thorne. Also featuring Greg Sterland - sax, Paul Jones - piano and
Matt Holmes - drums. The group’s style is best described as “intelligent fusion”.
The band hails from Wales. Thorne leads the band from behind bass guitar, and provides the majority of the band's compositions as well.
Whatever the spark that set them off, their performances predominantly built in volume and intensity, recruiting aspects of varied genres, including ambient music, funk, heavy rock and even hints of harmolodics, with melody lines and rhythms bearing equal weight. The band is completed by Greg Sterland on tenor, occasionally making good use of effect-pedals but mainly offering excellent relatively simon-pure jazz with some highly-characterful lines.
