The Gap Gig will have a different format for 2012.  Bill has decided to go his own way, however, John will be carrying on as normal but, every other month, with a variety of different types of jazz (but nothing too way out!).

The bar will remain the same, serving real ales, wine, lagers and soft drinks.  The gigs are bi-monthly – the 2nd Friday of the month.  There is no food but there are very good pubs and restaurants in the village.

Tickets always available from “Inspiration”, High Street, Goring on Thames.  If you want to reserve seats for any gig, be added to our email mailing list, or need any further information, please either ring John on 01491 874492 or email jcjazz@btinternet.com
