We had great fun on Sat night with Serious Sam/Holy Moly/Trev Gibb triple bill in Cluny2 ( Tix were £1 per band in adv) & the audiences chanting "Yorkshire, Yorkshire" at the end of the evening ?????. It was a lovely though & made us think about doing more during the summer. So watch this space, you never know

Details Soon- The Jumpin Hot Club Jamboree Festival ..

Maurice Hope's Toy Hearts review is up now

We lost three great music legends last week & two who had played for Jumpin Hot Club. In the early days Bob Brozman was the artist, all blues fans made a special pilgrimage to see. He was a genius on all roots music styles on national steel & slide guitar & helped make the reputation of the JHot Club with other american musicians. Wev'e got great memories of Bob playing from The Broken Doll to The Bridge Hotel & then Live Theatre & he'll be sadly missed throughout the world . Our sincere thoughts go with his family. 59 years old was too young

We flew Richie Havens in from USA to play our stage @ Evolution Fest a few years ago. Again he was a lovely bloke & a world famous folk musician & campaigner.

Thirdly George Jones passed away on Friday too. If you want to hear real country music, just pick up any of his albums.

Heres some great stuff for the roots music brigade
