It's Jazz weekend, in Bath and Brum, plus rock, comedy and classical too.

Friday at the Forum, here in Bath  has the amazing Madeleine Peyroux performing. Truly one of the great female jazz vocalists and this is not to be missed. If you can get a ticket, do! 7.30 Sept 30th. Link to ticketline here

Bath Box Office has no more info which is surprising but if you love her voice, what more do you need to know!

By the way, Bath Box Office has lots on Julian Clary and David Roberts, who are both at the Guildhall on Saturday. Part of the Bath Children’s Literature Festival they are ‘The Bolds Go Green’ and give a very amusing take on their bid to save the planet. Again it will be great. Click here for tickets and more. 

And I know we’ve mentioned this before but Steve Hackett Genesis Revisited is in Bath on Wednesday at the Forum. If you love early Genesis and want to be taken back in time, this is a must see. The tour, 31 dates, has pretty much been a sell out and had fantastic reviews. Again grab a ticket if you can!

While the Bath Children’s Literature Festival is on, I’m going to unashamedly plug events you will enjoy. Richard Ayoade (Travel Man and much more) and illustrator Tor Freeman are talking about the Book That No One Wanted to Read at the Guildhall on Sunday. It’s on from 4.30 and well worth catching.

Coming back to The Forum, on Thursday we have a classical recommendation. Benjamin Grosvenor performs Mendelssohn’s first Piano Concerto with Bath Philharmonia

“Mr Grosvenor makes you sigh with joy and commands the stage with aristocratic ease” The New York Times

The performance also includes pieces by Stravinsky and Beethoven, Jonathon Dove and a romantic overture by Mendelssohn’s sister Fanny.

For more .. 

Back to blues, country and rock, Samantha Fish is playing Bath at Komedia on the 27th. Mentioning this a little early as she is great but also this is the rescheduled performance from January so if you had tickets, make sure you find them and get down. 

And finally to Brum and back to Jazz. It’s a little way but well worth the journey, a favourite venue is The Royal Birmingham Conservatiore and on the 6th, The Jazz Club presents renowned improvising saxophonist Paul Dunmall with guitarist John Etheridgebass player Fred Baker and drummer Asaf Sirkis. This should be superb and if you can catch Madeleine Peyroux and Paul Dunmall in the same week, that’s one serious Jazz Week!
