5 Go Swing - live at Gwdihw

Gypsy jazz stars 5 Go Swing launch their new CD with a special gig at Gwdihw, Guildford Crescent, Cardiff city centre tonight - Thursday 7 October 2010.

I'll be doing a gypsy jazz DJ set to open the night at 8pm until the band take the stage.


After they've played I'll be stepping up the pace with some lively Balkan beats and gypsy tunes till the end of the night - including live Balkan drumming and percussion!

It's the latest in a series of Jazz Revhws at Gwdihw, first Thursday of every month.
