I’m really looking forward to this gig this year, as we’re taking it on the road and hosting it in the wonderful venue which is St Anne’s Church in Chasetown. The natural acoustics of the church are going to make the Big Band sound fantastic!
Now we’re nearing the end of September though, it’s time I start thinking about writing my next ‘very sensible’ Big Band arrangement for this gig…and I’m wondering if anyone has got an idea of a good tune for me?
New YouTube ‘Improvisation Backing Track’
This week I released a video on my YouTube channel, which is a groovy backing track that features me playing Guitar, Keys & Bass, as well as Carl Hemmingsley on Drums. The track switches between Cm7 and F7, so for the instrumentalists out there, if you fancy playing along, the link is here:

That’s all for now folks, it’d be great to see you at one of the gigs coming up!
