Welcome note

Thanks for visiting. Not opening time just yet. But what's next, you may well wonder beyond a bit of a recce to see Banjo Paddy playing to dancers down the alley locally very possibly. Look out for the podcast on Monday - lives return in September. Sunday listening is a very decent new number ever so wisely interpreted from Cambridge scene singer the highly more-ish Myles Sanko, 'Slow Down.' SG

MORE READING have a gander at my review of Lizz & travelling band fam in tow in the agreeably louche surroundings of what was the Soho Revue Bar - formerly the Raymond Revuebar - run in Streatham period Jazzwise long home to the mag in 2008 before moving to Herne Hill five years later. Jazzwise will be 30 years old in late March 2027. Her Lizzness' take on Led Zep's 'Thank You' that night was the ultimate jaw dropper. Recorded version above. It was far better live - that long lost night saw the audience totally unprovoked by cheerleaders or fooled by any showbiz artifice adoring what she had just sung. Oh to have a bootleg to try to recreate the memory even more than what I noted down and can recall. But whatever: you have to let it linger.
