I'm looking forward to be back playing at Ashford Food & Drink Festival again this Friday 27th June from 6.45pm at Revelation Ashford! This event could sell-out twice over every year and it's not surprising considering the quality of wine and food everyone gets to chow down on. Just read the synopsis below, and yes, I do get to try it all.


On Sunday 29th June 4pm at Fez Margate you can find me JONNY HEPBIR GYPSY JAZZ GUITARIST at my usual work station in the house waltzer banging out Django Reinhardt & Gypsy Jazz classics, a great way to end the weekend.

REVIEWS
Among other gigs I've been doing recently, the local band I have with Big Band singer Louise Cookman, Loulou Swing, had a fantastic afternoon at The Magnet in Broadstairs, Kent the other day. It was a great surprise to have renowned maestro Peter Long join us for the day on clarinet. Pete is my boss in his Pocket Basie Band and the Peter Long Orchestra and he's a very busy boy so it was great he found time and came down to strut his stuff with us!
Here's a short clip of us playing 'Honeysuckle Rose' from the day.
Metro Vipers had an awesome time at the 'Jazz In The Gardens' event for Godinton House and Gardens near Ashford in Kent last week. A capacity crowd filled the beautiful walled garden and the weather was baking all evening.
Thanks to everyone for coming and whopping sum was raised for the good people at the Samaritans Charity.
We don't play as much together these days as we're often busy with our other main bands but the fireworks always happen when we do.
Here's a couple of pics from the gig.
