Andy Roberts seeks a new venue for his nights of Balkan madness Posted at 10:34 AM Aug 26 view more
I'm a Cardiff-based DJ specialising in jazz, blues, Arabic and Balkan beats. I play sax, clarinet and harmonica with funky jazz band Wonderbrass, and present two weekly shows on Radio Cardiff - the Jazz Connection and A Night in Tunisia (Middle Eastern beats and bellydance). In my day job I'm a website producer for the BBC.
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone in south Wales who wants to form a 60s R'n'B band with a jazzy vocalist/harmonica player (guess who??) - imagine a blend of early Stones/Sonics/Strokes with Georgie Fame on vocals. Alternatively, anyone interested in performing Middle Eastern and/or Balkan/gypsy/klezmer music, and any bellydancers aged 16-60 who want to join the fun at the many haflas which take place around south Wales.
Gamarjoba Andy, I hope you manage to find your bigger stage. The band have recently been working on a eastern sounding dance tune which we are going to call Siluria. We'll send you and Siluria a copy once we have finalised it. Mean while , look after yourself, and we'll tell you when anything is happening for the band. We've had rather a slow start this year, but have got another band member and potentially five new numbers.
Hi Andy, thanks for playing my track on the Jazz Connection last week, all the best. My first 200% Proof show on Phonic fm 106.8 or www. phonic. fm goes out on Wed 28th Jan 2pm to 4pm Pete
Hi Andy Thanks for inviting us to play at the Jazz Cafe last week. We had a great time. Have a very Happy Christmas and a Happy New Year. Lots of Love Maren and Chas
Hi Andy Hope you are well. We have just come back from Glastonbury festival. You can watch Maren, Chas and Carmen on BBC iPlayer Glastonbury Saturday 28th of June 2008. Forward to 01:45 This is the website address for the BBC iPlayer:
Hi Andy. We had a great time down at Cafe Jazz. You must have been a good luck charm for Matt as he only broke ONE string during the gig - that's a new world record!
Thanks for your message. Let me know when you'll play the CD. Bristol is the closest we'll get in the near future ,to Wales. If you have a chance to be around... Keep in touch
Still open for bands!!! One of Wales’ biggest and newest events, encompassing 2 days, 4 stages, 60 bands, and the capacity for 3000 people! The festival is for charity, with proceeds going partly to help projects in the local community and partly to help young musicians in the area, with advertising, their equipment, etc. The ethos is very much that it is run like a community, so people helping each other out rather to help cut down the exchange of cash. We aim to work with ethical companies, aim to actively promote both welsh music, and environmental issues and solutions. Check it out at www. thesquarefestival. com And get in touch for further details. admin@backbeating.co.uk or theraffle@googlemail.com

Hey! you found me, I haven't really used Myspace for the past year. Can't wait for our next practise, man I'm so sad! I'm trying to learn more accordion now though, got the bug again. See you Tuesday!
