urb Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I know he's not everyone's cup of Earl Grey - but this is a good chance to see MM outside London and in a good hall/venue - anyway just thought some of you would be interested in this: http://www.jazzwisemagazine.com/news-mainmenu-139/69-2012/12228-jazz-breaking-news-bill-frisell-marcus-miller-and-tim-garland-set-for-cheltenham-jazz-festival Cheers M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassace Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Not sure where MM will be playing. I went to see Dave Holland in the Town Hall two years ago and although the venue was sold out the sound was great and the bass came over very well in such a large venue. There seems to be quite a Cheltenham connection on BC. I was there for three years in the sixties, loved the place and played with the Ramrods for a while. They're still going today. Wonder if they've still got those old (and very valuable) Fenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubinga5 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 i reckon it might be on the bar in the park.. just on the promenade. in a huge tent they put up. i could be totally wrong.. if it is, its a wicked place to see live music... beer.. sunshine.. Marcus Miller... it dont get any better than that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
