A heads-up for UK forum members that the great American guitarist Sid Jacobs is over later this week for a run of dates put together by London guitarist Tom Remon. The gigs are a mixture of guitar duos, quartet and quintet. (see flyer below for line-ups at each date)

In addition, I'm hosting a workshop with Sid this Saturday 23 March for the London Jazz Guitar Society. He is one of the most remarkable guitarists I have heard and an inspiring teacher. I hosted a workshop with Sid on his last UK visit (29 March 2014 - yikes, where did the time go?) so am really looking forward to hearing and learning from him again.

I know Tom Remon's put in a huge amount of work putting together this tour. No easy feat in the current economic climate and so I hope that anyone reading this will go out to show their support and enjoy some great music.
