manchester this week

There’s some great gigs happening in Manchester this week:

1) Tonight (Tuesday) at Sandbar we’ve got Chris Mapp’s Gambol from Birmingham playing as part of the Freedom Principle series of gigs run by Efpi Records – 8.30pm, £3 which also gets you a discount at the bar…

2) Tomorrow (Wednesday) Polar Bear are bringing their new collaboration with MC Jyager to Sound Control, with support from our good friends Gogo Penguin – the Penguins are on about 8pm, tickets are £10 + booking

3) Friday 18th – Beats & Pieces Big Band (thats us!) at the West Didsbury Club, M20 2LN. Come and say bye to us as we head off to Germany at the weekend for the European Young Artists’ Jazz Award next week – its free entry, with cheap beer too: happy days… Our set starts 8.30pm so don’t be late!

See you down the front at all three of these gigs!

pre-tour party!

You may have seen cryptic messages on myspace & facebook referring to a secret gig somewhere in Manchester on Thursday 20th May… Well its finally time to let the cat out of the bag!

We’ll be playing in a big band double bill with the wonderful Alice Zawadzki who’ll be showing off her brand new 18 piece Sky Project, a collaboration with the equally wonderful Jo McCallum. You’ll also get to hear the exciting Sam Rapley/Adam Chatterton quartet.

The evening will be held at the West Didsbury Conservative Club, Burton Road, M20 2LN (map) and will begin at 8pm. Entry will be free, but we will be accepting donations if you enjoy the music!

See you there…
