Hatton's got rhythm! Image Kris Conolly
Hatton Village Hall was full last Saturday after a late influx of bookings. Thanks to all the ‘out-of-towners’ who made it across to the gig as well as the local supporters.
There were eventually 95+ people in the hall – over 100 if you include the band! Everyone was delighted – the Village Hall Committee, the band, and Live and Local who organise the touring scheme.
There was extra anticipation in the hall before the start, Continue Reading Full House at Hatton!…
Interplay on home turf – for once

Interplay at the Attenborough Centre, Leicester
Members of Interplay are hoping for a good turnout of friends and fellow-travellers when we play at Hatton Village Hall next Saturday, February 12th. After 4 years of working around the East and West Midlands on the Rural Touring circuit we finally have a village hall date in Warwickshire where the band is based!
There is something special about playing in a village hall. Many of the audience know each other and the social dimension really counts. Not all the audience are jazz fans by any means, but they come along with an open mind and to enjoy themselves. Then there’s the hospitality – often delicious home-made food to keep our energies up because of major distances travelled and long hours put in.
The difference this time is that Hatton is just outside Warwick, about 10 miles from my home, and I’m unlikely to need motorway services on the way back for a late-night caffeine hit!
So please come and experience jazz in a different environment. Tickets are going fast, and advance booking is recommended – details as follows:
February 12th 7.45pm Hatton Village Hall, Birmingham Road, CV35 7LR Warwickshire 01926 484692
Soul Jazz Rendezvous

A very thoughtful friend gave me a fab present – the extraordinary tome ‘Freedom Rhythm and Sound‘ by Gilles Peterson and Stuart Baker . This erudite and attractively produced volume powerfully reminded me of the richness, creativity and sheer optimism of music, very largely black music, of the late 1960s and early 1970s.
There were very many small independent record labels at the time, and many ‘moving spirits’ remain relatively Continue Reading Soul Jazz Rendezvous…

‘This is our music’!

I’m ‘in recovery’ from an amazing week in New York City, courtesy of a lovely family re-union / celebration. In between feasting and shmoozing with the relatives we were able to contemplate and indulge in the fantastic music on offer.
Our musical explorations began with a chance happening across the Greenwich Village workshop of David Gage the famed luthier and restorer of string instruments. After a kindly whirlwind workshop tour courtesy of Mrs. Gage (possibly) we were showered with information about what to hear and where to hear it. Continue Reading ‘This is our music’!…
