Hello, we’re playing cheltenham jazz festival on monday 6th may with roller trio if you would like to come
we’ve been lying low a bit this year as we’ve been rehearsing the music that is going to be our new album
rather than add tunes bit by bit, gig by gig to our existing music i felt this time i wanted to take some time and then come back playing a whole new set
has been so fun rehearsing and playing our new music,
i love playing with my band so much and alot of new tunes seem to be coming out of me recently
am really looking forward alot to creating our new album
i hope you will like it when it appears
