'Twill make a man forget his woe;/ 'Twill heighten all his joy;/ 'Twill make the widow's heart to sing,/ Tho' the tear were in her eye. 'John Barleycorn' - Robert Burns (1787). Top specialist whisky brand Lagavulin, makers of premium single malt, sponsors the annual jazz festival on Islay next month. We see the 2024 line-up best bits oh are easily - if we were ever to be invited, would go along without a moment of hesitation - to acts like Azamiah at the top of the more than decent list of mostly Scottish jazz luminaries. There's nothing down the jazz offie to Grouse about should members of the armchair curatorial community choose to grumble. Tangentially, we prefer our whiskey with an 'e' and preferably with water drawn from St Columb's Rill. But certainly if forced would give a dribble of Scotch a go. Would be rude not to! Held from 20-22 Sept - more via this link.
