He has played in the innovative bands of Keith Tippett, Peter Broztmann, Tony Oxley, Zoe Rahman, and countless other jazz heavyweights, as well as with Jerry Dammers and co-leading ‘Weekend’, and ‘Working Week’ through the 1980s and 90s. www.larrystabbins.com

At the same start time of 7.30pm and it’s still FREE ENTRY at The Big Kettle (Western Hotel, St. Ives). PWYC.

Until further notice, we are sticking with last year’s model of myself running the local jazz night called The Big Kettle. The Big Kettle runs every Tuesday with monthly St. Ives Jazz Club special nights featuring artists from around the world and UK Jazz scene.

Details about this week’s Big Kettle gig below – same system as last year with tables booked for food direct with Western Hotel.

The Big Kettle Jazz Night

PLEASE NOTE START TIME of 7.30pm

We are therefore operating a Pay What You Can system, so please give generously at the break (there will be a hat/card reader going round) to help support the band :).

Other tables are allocated on a first come first served basis – please come early to avoid disappointment. The unbooked tables are come-and-go and we found that if people were happy to wait then a table usually comes free (but this isn’t guaranteed).

Hoping to see you all soon and please support live music.

With all best wishes
Tom and the Jazz Club team
