WE HOPE LIKE US that you feel this venue is a permanent celebration of great music. Of shows that we feared might fair badly because of our bi-polar spring weather or people’s unfamiliarity with the trail the act is blazing we obviously need not fear. Our view is not business based but sometimes we hear the radio and fear for the more artistic musicians that travel from near and far to perform.

It may indeed become cheesy for us to continue to harp on about metaphorical warmth across the cold months but… from an artist’s point of view what JC punters did across March and April is surely what you want from your fans. The cold snap was no match for those wanting to see Teedra Moses, Larry Graham, Alexander O’Neal or Damage.

This next couple of months we are sure those of you coming to see the likes of Arrested Development, Tweet, Maysa, Omar, Candi Staton or The Congos will not be disappointed.

Thank you and enjoy
