For food, please phone Kersey Mill, 01473 820300 by 5 p.m. the Thursday before the gig to reserve a table.

It would have been hugely more difficult to have built this web site with out the help of Paul Warren, who designed our new brochure, and Alan Sturges, who spent hours discussing, correcting and providing material. By the way, the background colour is a web safe dark blue.
Nevertheless, problems with the site are the fault of Dave Lyons, who would be delighted with any comments and criticisms sent to him. Please note that the site is still in a state of development.

We now have for sale at the club the 2 CD set of the Alan Skidmore Quartet "Impressions of Coltrane", recorded at the club December 2005, and,
an evening with Hannah Richardson recorded at the Fleece June 2006, with Nick's pictures as well!

We are delighted that the Jazz Couriers Volume 2, recorded at the Fleece in 2004, is available for sale from our megastore, or from Trio Records.

Our full programme is accessible here, and tickets are available by calling 01787 211865.

Most of the pictures here and in the brochure are by our very own Nick Rabett.

Mick's website with his own great discography and other artists is well worth a look.
The next Mick Hutton Jazz Club event takes place on the 30th August, Saturday at 8pm at Lexden Wood Golf Club. This month we will be hosting Jim Mullen. He is far too down to earth to bother with a website but you can hear him by clicking on this site It's tabled seating as always and a reservation can be made easily by emailing me or phoning me on 07747636333. The music is £10 per head and the setting is intimate with a menu and a bar..
