See y'all here folks..!
 
On Saturday 9 July, Guildhall Square will be transformed into a spectacular aerial playground.

With circus imagery, breathtaking aerial and acrobatic skills, amazing pyrotechnics and inspiring live music, BARRICADE is a celebration of the mighty human effort needed to overcome the walls, barriers and obstacles we find, or place, in our path.

Two trucks block Guildhall square. They disgorge their contents of wire and tyres, dividing the square in two, creating an obstacle to normal paths and daily routines. Suddenly, a storm is rising. People are building a barricade to defend themselves...

NoFit State Circus bring their signature theatrical chaos to Southampton for one night only, brought to you by team behind 2009’s Midsummer Dreams and 2010’s Alive & Ablaze.

This FREE event starts at 9.30pm with a musical prelude and the show starts as darkness falls.
 
It is NOT ticketed, but space for the audience will be limited, so we advise that you arrive early!

This event is brought to you by The Nuffield Theatre, Southampton City Council and ZEPA (European Zone of Artistic Projects, supported by the European Union as part of the INTERREG IV A France (Channel) – England programme), and is part of Art at the Heart - inspirational creative projects for Southampton’s emerging cultural quarter

SOUTHAMPTON JAZZ CLUB PRESENTS...
 
BADDEST BLUES BAND EVER!


 


MONDAY 18th JUNE 2011

Just in case you missed them the last time they played at the club in 2007 that’s “Baddest” in the sense “Bestest” (as I understand common parlance has it) and despite the bad press that the Blues gets as being one dimensional, “woke up this morning” clichéd music they will guarantee that you will have a great time, have a smile on your face and up on your feet dancing.

 
All the members of the band not only have solid Blues and Jazz credentials but between them have played with a bewildering array of talent as diverse as Django Bates, Harrison Birtwhistle, Keith Tippett, John Etheridge, Mose Allison, Diana Ross, George Shearing and Bill Bruford to name but a few…….
 

“Superb - a thoroughly modern mix of jazz and blues, combining a sense of history with their own contemporary influences.” - Blues Matters

 
Rob Koral, guitar
Zoe Schwarz, vocals
Malcolm Creese, double bass
Pete Whittaker, Hammond organ
Si Genaro, harmonica
Paul Robinson, drums
 
Tickets £12 non-members, £9 members £5 students

2-4-1 - Ridiculous!

If you know them we'll see you here...
If you don't... JTQ's 'Blow Up' 45 was part of MR John Peels favourite 50!
Listen to the master... Here's the history...

This year the James Taylor Quartet celebrates their 25th Anniversary Year.
 
James Taylor - one of the great British instrumentalists of his generation - has taken his trademark howling Hammond sound to the masses for over 25 years; 2011 sees the band tip into its 26th year, still famed for its upbeat, energetic live shows... with no signs of slowing down. The band’s relentlessly entertaining tunes take inspiration from the rare-groove style funk, and boogaloo funk of the 60s and 70s and, the band is, without a doubt, one of the most important jazz-pop crossover outfits in British live musical history today.

After the collapse of mod legends The Prisoners in the 1980s, and before moving to Sweden, James recorded some demos with brother David on guitar, the bass player from The Prisoners, and a drummer from down the road... and thus The James Taylor Quartet was born. From tiny acorns mighty oaks do indeed grow, and it wasn't long before the first single, Blow Up, had been released, the band were in the studio rehearsing for the Mission Impossible EP, gigs were booked, and the late great John Peel was offering a session.

Skip forward 25 years and JTQ has evolved into one of the most exciting and well respected touring bands in the UK. With numerous albums to its name, the band’s recorded output is not to be scoffed at. 'Prolific' is an understatement, with albums touching genres as diverse as jazz, funk, soul, rock, and even rap, not to mention a handful of library albums in between. Each album is an absolute must for any Hammond fan: James' playing providing a solid and accomplished lead as always. Live, the band is explosive, with a breathtaking, diverse unmatched back catalogue.

For his 25th Anniversary JTQ are releasing “The Template”, marking the coming of age of the Hammond master at the forefront of the world jazz funk scene. Taylors Hammond work ramps up the tension alongside award winning flautist ‘Gareth Lockrane’ all set to a searing groove that throws down the gauntlet to all challengers. This is heavy modern instrumental music at its best delivered by an act that is on top of its game and clearly enjoying them selves. Add to the mix the soulful angelic voice of UK’s great white hope ‘John Turrell’ and JTQ lay back into a mesmeric mellow groove with the anthemic emotionally charged ‘Woman’ – This will be out as a Single on 4th March 2011. The Album never lets up the intensity with subtle and yet powerfully dynamic musicianship to be released on Chinchin records on 15th April 2011.
