Hello, Jazz Bar Supporters!
The Fringe is over, so now we can rest ... and after having just staged some 215 gigs in 24 consecutive days - we're ready!
However, the 'rest' concept is a bit academic. Now we're back to our (seemingly rather conservative, after what we've just been through!) 3 or 4 gigs a day, seven days a week, and we've got some good stuff coming up for you - as always!
Rather than list everything here, which is rather a lot (it's all on the website anyway), here's some of the 'special' highlights over the next couple of weeks. Full details are on the website, of every single gig - take a wee look!

Entry from 8pm (music 9-12) £5/£4 STRETCH DAWRSON – TWO BANDS!

A great night with two bands: 'Stretch Dawrson and the Mending Hearts' (the only Scottish Western Swing band in existence), and 'MP and the Expenses', in which Stretch teams up with local blues legend Michael Parker. Come on down and stretch your imagination!
