toneknob Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) Hi, My band Velcro Pelmet ([url="https://www.facebook.com/VelcroPelmet"]https://www.facebook.com/VelcroPelmet[/url]) are playing what we hope will become a monthly jazz night at the Tooting Tram & Social in Tooting, SW17 (2 mins walk from Tooting Broadway tube station). We play a mix of jazz fusion originals and reinterpreted versions of material originally by the likes of Miles Davis, Weather Report, Mike Stern, Herbie Hancock, Billy Cobham, the Jaco Pastorius big band, Pat Metheny and others. Supporting us this time are Recommended Units (guitar and saxophone-led groove jazz with a modern edge) and The Young Scientists (jazz, blues and surf sounds). Admission is a rather friendly £3. More details on our attached events page: [url="https://www.facebook.com/events/724569734318784/"]https://www.facebook...24569734318784/[/url] See the Tram's web site at [url="http://tootingtramandsocial.co.uk/map/"]http://tootingtramandsocial.co.uk/map/[/url] for location. As this is hopefully going to develop into a monthly thing, we'll be on the lookout for bands to join us on the bill (or headline if you're really good). If you're interested, send me a PM with some info about band and links to youtubes, soundcloud etc. Thanks!
