Edinburgh Fringe 2017
Well, the Fringe is upon us once again and if you want to come and see us… then I’m afraid you’ll need to wait until the Autumn because we have already played our two shows this year! We were joined by the fantastic Jean-Baptiste Richon on keys and had a great time with a couple […]
Jumping Jazz Bar
Thanks very much to everyone who made it to the Jazz Bar tonight. It was a lot of fun and lovely to have a chat with some of you afterwards. The crazy dancing made me laugh on more than one occasion. Special thanks to Mike Hardy and Jean-Baptist Richon for guesting on trumpet and keys respectively. It’s always […]
Absence makes the heart grow fonder

Looks like the weather’s going to be okay and the folk that have been throwing themselves down hills on their bikes must have had a great weekend. 3.45pm at Tweed Green if you are in the area. Excited; our first gig for a while […]
Friday 13th gig
What could possibly go wrong? A Christmas party Jazz Bar gig for Gecko 3 on Friday 13th! I suppose since it will be after midnight (12.30) when we start playing we might escape the hoodoo. Bring your office party and try to tell the difference between the record decks and the photocopier… This is of […]
The albums are here!
Our albums have just arrived. So chuffed with them! We’ll be selling pre-release copies at the gig tonight so hope to see you there.
Album is at the pressing plant…
We hope to have it for the second festival show, but the album – with stunning artwork by Alan R Davison (www.alanrdavison.com) – is in production. We will launch it officially in the Autumn but you have a chance to get you hands on an early copy on the 16th Aug at the Jazz Bar.
