Nigel Penfold emailed Jazz&Jazz:

“I’ve just found your website, well done for all the work you’ve obviously put in to helping jazz.

“I’d like to present the South Molton Jazz Club which meets on the last Friday of every month in South Molton, Devon, at the George Hotel.

“Since I launched the club just two years ago, we have featured a wide range of bands including Trad, Gypsy, Manouche, Guitar Funk and everything in between.

“We took a break in July and August but on the 27th September we featured John Shillito’s Riviera Ramblers. Back in June B.D. Lenz from New York were with us for the second time as part of their annual UK tour.”

First Friday Jazz Club

“I also run the First Friday Jazz Club, which meets on (you guessed it) the
first Friday of each month at the Oak Room, Tiverton, Devon. A converted church,
complete with sofas, a licensed bar and fantastic acoustics, it has only been running for a year. Jade Gall and her band launched our Autumn/Winter season.” (Nigel Penfold)

Tickets for both venues cost just £10.

HELP US KEEP JAZZ LIVE AND ALIVE!

Popular belief is that Jazz has had its day. Not so! There are plenty of great bands on the jazz circuits - playing at Concerts, Clubs, Festivals. People say the musicians and fans are past their sell by dates and don’t attract younger audiences. Again, not so! There is a Jazz Revival! Numerous younger bands with growing numbers of enthusiastic young fans are making their mark.

Jazz&Jazz is dedicated to keeping jazz LIVE AND ALIVE. We value exchanges of views on all things jazz. You can make your comments by using the “Speak Your Mind” option below each post.

But as Jazz&Jazz coverage increases incrementally in quality as well as quantity so do costs - travel, photography, videos, subscriptions, booking and ticket prices.

CONTRIBUTIONS to help cover costs would therefore be greatly appreciated. Jazz&Jazz also features JAZZ ART, sales of which help finance expenses.

RECENT ACCOLADES

“Jazz & Jazz” is an invaluable platform for news about young bands and musicians. It’s a great way for organisers like me to know what is going on! The enthusiasm of Peter Butler is inspirational and infectious and has certainly done much to boost the reputation of Fest Jazz beyond the boundaries of Brittany. Long may the site continue and flourish!”
Trevor Stent, Good Time Jazz

“Dear Peter, You have embarked on a lonely road. There have been few people painting New Orleans musicians over the years. There was one guy named Frank Caunce … in the 1965 - 72 period who was very good but not as organised as you. So keep doing what you are doing.”
Barry Martyn, New Orleans

“Very pleased to be associated with Jazz & Jazz. It promises to be be an influential contribution not just to the UK but to any one anywhere capable of accessing it. My Old Green River Band is delighted to have the opportunity to register its gigs and geographical whereabouts and to see the results this must have for all those associated.”
Martin Bennett, The Old Green River Band

“Fantastic Peter, you've got a talent for capturing people! Perhaps I need to have a shave!!!
Emile Martyn, The Fallen Heroes.
