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 Spring 2022, but will keep our ears to the ground and if we feel able to offer more of these gigs then we will.
