I'm organising an open mic Jazz / jam night at the Wycliffe Hotel on
Edgeley Road in Stockport (http://www.wycliffe-hotel.com/) on the first
Thursday of every month.
This Thursday (3rd of December) we have Bruno Langley playing a set,
supported by the house band which consists of myself on Kit, Roy
Medhurst on keys and Emlyn Vaughan on bass.
After Bruno's set the floor will be open for anyone wanting to come and
play. Its an ideal venue to try out new material / projects or just jam
with talented musicians
