July? No I always tell the truth... and the truth is this month is hot hot hot in terms of extra treats. Le Grand Bastille Day Party, with Can-Can dancers, Les Ooh La Las and the long awaited return of Harry & The Hounds. PLUS in a special Friday night LIVE performance, the even longer awaited return of head honcho of the Hammond - Stevie Watts. There's also an earlier start and finish time for Les Radiateurs so you can stick around and watch the World Cup final on Sunday 19th... at time of writing this, we're still in with the chance of a France v England game...

Oui, oui, oui! The legendary Bastille Day Party is on. With live left bank and gypsy jazz a la Hot Club de Paris; accomplished accordion; shuperb chanson; Gallic grooves et cute Can-Can kickers in their frilly knickers...
This formibarblurr extravaganza is one of the great highlights of the year. If you've never experienced it, now's your bon chance.

Melodious musical memories with the Monday Boys - the CV's of these guys... honestly! And you lucky people get to see them for free every Monday 2-5pm... You're welcome!

We made a little bit of jazz history yesterday when our old friend, the drummer Don Cook, dropped into the Paris House. Sitting around the table from the left are me, Mick Hamer, Don's son Stephen, Don Cook, Al Nicholls and Nils Solberg.
Over the years Don Cook worked with some of the biggest names in jazz, including Bruce Turner, Dick Charlesworth and Charlie Galbraith and he toured with American stars like Champion Jack Dupree, who as Don said, was the 'master of the eleven and a half bar blues'.
Listing all the connections between us would be tedious, but Don and I first worked together back in November 1968. Together with Al Nicholls we did a stretch with Dick Laurie's Elastic Band, while Nils and Don both worked regularly for Dick Charlesworth as well as sharing a house in London.
