Mambo Jambo- Acoustic roots duo Mambo Jambo might just be the biggest acoustic duo you’ll ever see; a truly unique two-piece, performing their lively, joyous mash up of sounds from roots, world, folk and jazz, along with their own compositions.

With Frankie on sax, vocals, clarinet, flute, guitar and percussion and Pete on guitar, vocal, ukulele, tres (traditional Cuban guitar), banjo, accordion and suitcase!  Pete and Frankie have been gathering admirers at shows and festivals the length and breadth of the country.  A fabulous musical treat is in store wherever they roll up, their tour bus packed to the brim!

So What Now Jazz - This highly entertaining quintet presents jazz standards, classic Latin grooves & blues with their own brand of vibrancy, humour and most importantly with a whole lot of swing!  Entertainment is strictly the name of the game and wherever they perform, the response is the same – a great reaction from both jazz buffs and newcomers to the music. Much of this is due to the varied programme of generally well known tunes but always with a few surprises thrown in.
