A Sunday lunchtime set of blues-drenched, clarinet-driven 1920’s New Orleans jazz with London’s hard-swinging vintage jazz band, The Dime Notes. Expect a repertoire full of stomps, blueses and forgotten gems from musicians such as Jelly Roll Morton, Johnny Dodds, and Red Nichols.

“Inspired” –  The Sunday Times

The Dime Notes have a reputation for their unorthodox approach to the blues-drenched sounds of clarinet-driven 1920’s New Orleans jazz. The band is fronted by UK clarinetist David Horniblow. Much admired on the European jazz stage for his foot-stomping approach to hot swinging jazz, David has travelled the globe with just about every respected band. And also UK pianist/composer/arranger Sam Watts, known for his focused creativity in many styles of music. They are anchored by the unstoppable pulse of London’s knockout rhythm section, featuring guitarist Dave Kelbie, accompanist to many world class musicians such as Evan Christopher in Django a la Creole, John Etheridge, Don Vappie’s Jazz Creole and Fapy Lafertin, and Louis Thomas on bass. With his arsenal of dextrous techniques. Louis is well-known across the international scene for his swing, huge sound and stylistic versatility. The Dime Notes are probably the most well-travelled of UK jazz bands with tours of Ukraine, Moldova, Japan, Germany, France, Canada, Scotland, N Ireland and Switzerland/Austria behind them.
