John Wands presents... - Sun July 3, 2011 at 12:30

Bob Long is a British blues singer, guitarist and harmonica player

specializing in "the old stuff". Most of what he plays is his interpretations of pre-world war II blues, jug band and ragtime material particularly music from the Mississippi Delta.

Bob's love of the blues started in the 1960s, listening to The Rolling Stones who were then playing numbers from Muddy Waters, Howling Wolf and Jimmy Reed. He bought the records of these old bluesmen and began a musical odyssey back in time through the 50s, 40s and 30s to the early blues and jug band recordings of the 20s. During the 70s and early 80s Bob appeared at folk clubs and pubs, sometimes solo, more often with a harmonica player - notably his schoolfriend, Keith Miller. His musical pursuits were then pushed aside due to the pressures of running his own business from the mid-80s until 1999 when he returned to playing the blues and recorded an album Cow Pie.

FRIDAY 15th JULY:

Flatout promotions present... MISSING ANDY.

Missing Andy are a five-piece indie rock act that are riding on the crest of a wave, having performed at the renowned SXSW festival alongside the likes of The Wombats, Pigeon Detectives and Lightspeed Champion among others.

The band have also been asked to be part of a soundtrack to the forthcoming Hollywood movie Chain Letter (featuring Nikki Read of Twilight fame).

With tracks such as The Way We're Made it's easy to see why Missing Andy are gaining so much attention, the song is a stunning combination of driving rhythms, potent riffs, soaring instrumentation and an infectious mix of spoken and crooned vocals (kind of like a bigger, louder hi-fi version of Milk Kan and yes that's a very good thing) that's equally rousing as they are soulful.

Tickets £9.00 adv

David Lands, Jazz Journal

A great musician and friend, James Taylor has always been true to the integrity of his sound and this 25th anniversary year marks him out in the tradition of great British musical innovation. Nitin

This year the James Taylor Quartet celebrates their 25th Anniversary Year, with a brand new single “Woman” released 4th March 2011 and James' latest album “The Template” released 15th April on Chinchin-records.

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.
