Friday 11th October will see Doctor Steve in the excellent company of Lucy Muse & Ben Thomas for the 2nd in the new season of his Jazz Surgery sessions at the Silvershine Jazz Club at its new home, upstairs at the Bear Tavern in Bearwood. The theme for the evening will be MUSIC & PERFORMANCE ART. Lucy & Ben are visiting from Wales to take part in the event. Seriously, this is not one to miss! Expect boundaries to be pushed & performance to become the ultimate expression of being in the world. Art always has this function but it is rarely occasioned as well as in the immediacy of live performance art.
 

All open minds very welcome!
