Friday 2nd September:
Andy Sheppard's Pushy Doctors.
A great ‘anarchistic’ ride
through standards of jazz pop and beyond by this hard swinging ‘out
there’ classic organ trio. Formed to play in the
deep club/bar environment this disrespectful grooving band can really blow the roof off.
Andy Sheppard (saxophones),
Dan Moore (keys) & Tony Orrell (Drums). Tickets £10 (gig only - seated). Limited number of tables available for £18 (gig & mezze).
