Playing Django @Guy_Garvey! Well I never... welcome :)

[Nigel Price @Nigethejazzer]

Why aren’t there fret markers on the fretboard on classical guitars?

[Ben Phillips @benphillips76]

This is a delight. Ella sings “I can’t give you anything but love”, 3 times: first in her own voice, perhaps the most beautiful voice ever; then, a teasing tribute to cutsie chee chee Rose Murphy; last to cap it all, as a croaky Louis Armstrong, her duet partner & beloved friend.

[Kansas Smitty's @KansasSmittys]

oooh it was another fun week in the Virtual Jazz Bar. Tune in on Thursdays and Saturdays via our YT or FB at 8pm GMT to see more of what you need.

[Nigel Price @Nigethejazzer]

Socially distanced audiences = less revenue. I’ll do whatever it takes to keep this train on the rails so I’m running this raffle to help venues and musicians alike.
For the upcoming tour and for Shepperton Jazz Club.
Please take a peek! Thanks. x
