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:

Cool - I'm usually there so hope we can have a little BC hook up - CJF is normally worth checking out lots of quality stuff on

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.

Aye aye - I just wanted to say I'm definitely going to this - I'm staying in Cheltenham for the whole weekend so will be around for extended hang-age - but also I've just heard a sneak preview / white label of his new album and it's really good - very powerful jazz funk - all instrumental (so far) with some killer bass/brass lines going on and the usual meaty thumb work really driving it along - his best stuff for a while then :)

Anyway hope to see some of you lot there - should be a cracker - he's also doing the Ritz in Manchester and London Royal Festival Hall!
