Cool! I'll watch out for that - the Mrs loves Come Dine With Me so I think it will be on our Sky+ even if I'm out I do like a nice bit of gypsy jazz from time to time (Bireli Lagrene my favourite)

[ceilidhswinger]

Cheers Clarky, Bireli is one of my favourites too! If you get a chance, check Havana Swing out on Spotify and have a look at our vids on youtube (we've got shed loads up.

Will do! When I was last up on biz in Edinburgh I saw a Western Swing band, Stretch Dawrson and the Mending Hearts, who were pretty good (very good DB player). I bet you've played with them, given the genre similarity

[ceilidhswinger]

Good Lad! never played with those guys before but they were on the night after us in Dukes Corner a gig in Dundee not so long ago but never got to see them as I was playing too!

Have a great weekend Clarky

[Clarky]

Well I watched the Sky+ playback and - sorry to say - I didn't spot any swing jazz band Was it the programme with the lady serving up 'posh' fish 'n chips who literally and metaphorically had a huge chip on her shoulder?
