Last night I went to the Long Dog pub in Waddesdon to check out the jazz night that takes place there every other Tuesday. This is because I bumped into one of the organisers and house band members on a recent gig, and he told me that Mitch Dalton was going to be playing at the next one…. So I had to get there!
It was incredible!! The quartet are all top, top, players who have played for some of the most important names in music, and they’re playing a village pub just outside Aylesbury… I left feeling like I’d robbed them – all I bought was a coke! Typically I’d be paying proper money for a ticket to see these guys – if I could get one – and that wasn’t necessary at all on this occasion… Or any Tuesday at the Long Dog!
If you’re local, stick it in your diaries!! You can see some of the best musicians in Jazz without having to travel into London to do so – or pay the money, which I would only be too happy to do!
I got to meet and watch one of the top guitar players last night, and I’m still buzzing now! See you there in 13 days time!
