The sound in the Church is magnificent. It is also beautiful inside - probably the nicest venue I can reember playing last year. Goodness, those mediaeval builders knew what they were doing in the old days.
The vicar is Marcus Ronchetti, an outstandingly interesting character. Last time, I was there early and popped in to the pub opposite, as you do. The landlord asked me to have a word with Marcus about the drumming noises from his Church on a Tuesday evening, it was disturbing the drinkers! A jest, of course, he wasn't really bothered, then I discovered that Marcus turns over the Church to Bongo and Conga players, Guiro specialists and Clave experts for a Latin rhythm evening! No wonder he gets a big audience, sorry congregation, together.
Last time he ran a Curry evening for locals as well as churchgoers. His son came up and played on our congas. We had a great time.
This time, Marcus we have a different line up, and different songs. Hope you like it.
John, Jazz Smugglers.
