We’re now taking a winter break and are due to return on Sunday 15th February with Llandjango, Ceredigion’s answer to the gypsy jazz of Django Reinhardt & Stephane Grappelly.
Until then, we hope you continue to follow live music, wherever you go

Pianist Ross Hicks leads a trio completed by bassist Nick Kacal, now based in Cardiff after a couple of decades on the London scene, and drummer Ryan Thrupp, fellow graduate of the Welsh College of Music and Drama with Hicks.
This band is fast making a name beyond Cardiff, enhanced by the recent release of their first album, Three Elms. Ross shows his precocious talent from the getgo, forever encouraging his band to deliver, together, sumptuous music for which Sunday afternoons were surely designed.
Hope you can join us.

Jack Williams, bass guitar and
George (Sonny) Wilson, drums.

Based in Cardiff, The Keith Little Trio has travelled far and wide playing concerts at home and abroad.
Inspired by the Swing Music of Benny Goodman, Fats Waller, Louis Armstrong and the like, the varied repertoire of this lively Band also includes Jump ‘n’ Jive numbers after the styles of Louis Prima.
Keith put together this group of experienced professionals creating a sound that extends beyond the traditional and offering a wide range of jazz and swing that is just sheer enjoyment.
Led by Keith on piano, the Band features Gethin Liddington on trumpet and Donnie Joe Sweeney on bass and vocals.
Our first of the autumn season is on Sunday 23rd September and features Kitty’s Trio.
Kitty (Beverley Gough) performed for us last year with her trio. They play a mix of tailored swing and jazz – including classic jazz standards and original compositions. From Ella Fitzgerald to Nina Simone, their repertoire is wide and engaging, yet always with a trick or two up their sleeves.
A great way to start a new season, this is also our contribution to Tenby Arts Festival.
We’re taking a winter break but coming back with a bang.
Fronted by an unusual combination of clarinet, bass clarinet and vocals in several European languages, the unique, eclectic and widely appealing sound of Afternoon in Paris is delivered with a heartfelt, irresistible joie de vivre that will transport you through the jazz clubs of 1930s Paris to the grand cafés of Europe and South America.
With Susanna Warren on clarinets and vocals, Jeremy Young on lead guitar, Andy King on rhythm guitar & Andy ‘Wal’ Coughlan on double bass, this is one of our most popular bands, so book early. A great way to start a new year of jazz brunch concerts …
