Festival Patron Digby Fairweather played his first two shows of the festival yesterday. He opened in good form at the pleasantly full Brasshouse, accompanied by the Craig Milverton Trio. His evening performance was at the Ibis Hotel, this time accompanied by versatile Craig Milverton on piano and ever popular singer Becky Brine. Both shows, featuring well known songs done with style and humour, were very well received by the audience.
If you missed Digby he plays two shows both today and tomorrow. You can find him today at the Plough and Harrow 12.30pm followed by a Musician's Union presentation (with Dave O'Higgins, Chris Walker and the John Patrick Trio) at Wine Republic 7pm. He also gives a talk at Borders bookshop 12.30pm Thursday, before concluding with the All Star Jam Session at Botanical Gardens on Thursday at 7pm (tickets are only £10 and are available from 0121 454 7020/1860).
Greg Abate played a stormer last night at a busy Lord Clifden. If you haven't yet seen him, you can catch this Grammy award nominee either today or on Friday. He takes his extended bebop style to the Brasshouse at 12.30pm this lunchtime followed by an early evening performance at 5.30pm at Waters Edge Bandstand (which, in the event of rain, will be switched to the adjacent Slug & Lettuce. Please note, this is a time and venue change to the printed programme). Like Charlie Parker? You'll love Greg Abate.
If you fancy some quirky, witty, edgy jazz songs, be sure to check out excellent songwriter Suzahn Fiering, all the way from Nashville USA, playing today at the Ibis hotel 6pm.
