UPDATE FROM JAMIE

Since moving from London to Broadstairs in 2010, I've been playing in wide variety of Kent venues and festivals including: The Maidstone Jazz Festival, The Broadstairs Food Fayre (Cabaret Evening), Broadstairs Blues Bash www.broadstairsbluesbash.com, The Belgian Cafe and Harbour Jazz at the Small Boat Owners Club in Ramsgate; The Sarah Thorne Theatre (in concert) and The Lord Nelson in Broadstairs, Deco 5 in Whitstable, The Lighthouse Bar in Margate and Keppels Music Room, Folkestone. I've been performing with a variety of excellent local musicians including Vince Clarke (drums), Harry Cook (bass), Veronica Cowper (vocals), Neil Francis (bass), Frances Knight (keyboards and accordion), Andee Price (bass), John Willis (drums / percussion) and Dave Reay (guitars). I also continue to play private and corporate functions in London and the South East.

One of the London based groups I perform with regularly is CATS AND A FIDDLE a swing group assembled by the great violinist Frank Biddulph, with David Horniblow on clarinet. Cats and a Fiddle is a swinging blend of standards, gypsy jazz and Eastern European favourites.

Highlights of 2011 - 12 (so far) include:

On 12 March 2011, Dave Reay and I thoroughly enjoyed performing in a concert club setting at the Pizza Express Music Room, Maidstone www.pizzaexpresslive.co.uk . On this occasion we were joined by Vince Clarke (drums and percussion) and Neil Francis (bass). You can view some selections on UTube and on the My Music page of this website.
Dave and I regularly gig throughout the South East with regular appearances at The Belgian Cafe in Ramsgate and The Lighthouse Bar in Margate. We once again performed at the Maidstone Jazz Festival.

On 24 September 2011, Veronica Cowper and I performed in concert at The Sarah Thorne Theatre in Broadstairs. This was part of the monthly jazz series organised by saxophonist Paul Zec. The line up included Paul Zec (saxophones), Dave Silk (bass) and Vince Clarke (drums). We were very pleased with the enthusiastic response to the music.

29 January 2012 - Guitar Recital for Broadstairs Music Recital Society
Following the solo guitar recital I gave in January 2011 as part of the Broadstairs Music Recital Society's concert series, I was invited back to perform as part of the 2012 season. I was delighted that fellow guitarist Dave Reay agreed to join me on this occasion. The concert was very well received.

3 March 2012 - Tom Thumb Theatre, Cliftonville, Margate. (www.tomthumbtheatre.co.uk)
Dave Reay and I really enjoyed performing an evening of jazz, gypsy, Latin and original guitar music in the intimate concert setting that this welcoming theatre provides An excellent night!
Dave and I are currently recording our first CD together.

Just returned from a trip to Canada where I enjoyed recording and playing with friends on the West Coast.
