Sept 28th DERRICK HARRIS QUARTET
Classic guitar trio sounds featuring the compositions and great guitar playing of Derrick Harris. Joel Purnell (Sax), Adrian Knowles (bass) & Ronnie Bottomley (drums)

Oct 19th THE TRASHCAN COLLECTIVE
Playing a selection of originals and vocal standards.

Atholl Ransome (saxes), Alec Robinson (keys), Bruce Reid (double bass), Rob Turner (drums), with Brian Acton (guitar and vocals).
