@pez_sez This always annoys me as well. Maybe we just need to let them know that we will be ordering something so they should be prepared for our order later? 😂

I will *not* pre-order my drinks. You can’t “pre”-order something! Ordering is already “pre”! That’s the whole point!

@Smithinoz Happy new year and good luck Chris !

Getting ready for my next challenge, spending the next 12 months as Principal of Manjimup ESC, so much ‘new’ to learn that I don’t even know I don’t know! One day at a time…

@pfrr @Plusnet Same in Newcastle

@Plusnet my Internet broadband connection died 20 minutes ago. Is your service running without hiccups?

@pr_grainger @M__Lamb @NCLjazzfest Thanks Paul for your support and being a part of this years festival. Great playing as always 👍

By popular demand… I went and made a list of 30 essential bigband records. These are all albums that I think anyone interested in large ensemble jazz — and particularly anyone interested in writing for this format — will find very rewarding. I know they have been for me!

@BlaydonJazzClub Thanks for having me. It was a great night and I’m glad you appreciated the song choices 🙂

Excellent session from Jamie and Mick's Trio at Blaydon yesterday. Decent turnout too. What stood out was the care taken to have an interesting selection of tunes and well presented. Stuff you don't hear too often among more familiar material. Well played and totally enjoyable.

We’re back. A fine time was had at Whitley Bay Carnival on Sat.Last night we played sets at @SegedunumFort & @NewcastleCC beacon lighting events,it was great to see so many people out having a good time (and dancing in the rain at Newcastle). Next up, @TeesBarrage 11am on Sunday.

We're heading back to the wonderful Simpson Street Studios THIS SUNDAY to record the final of our three crowd funded albums! Wacth out on the day to find out who the final list of special guests apprearing alongside us are...

We're SO ready to be back with a live audience at The Gosforth Civic. The live stream last year was cool - but it just wasn't the same... After a decade of sell-out shows, we expect this year to do the same again- grab your seats at strictly-smokin.co.uk Ho ho ho 🎅

Just got the very sad news about my friend and one of the Legends of The Organ, Dr. Lonnie Smith has made his final transition. He’ll be missed dearly, but never forgotten. He brought much joy to the world with his music. Love you Doc!! RIP❤️

Someone’s going to have to explain to her what a cheque is

Murray did it properly - he put us through 4 years of agony before he finally won one - none of this straight from A levels in Bromley to champion in 6 months nonsense.

This is something that could really help us jazzers. The more of us that add to this questionnaire, the more weight it will carry. appjag.org/2021/08/08/rev…
