JAZZ at Fourcroft – Madi Stimpson Trio


 Sunday 18th October – midday til 3pm

The Madi Stimpson Trio are Madi (guitars and vocals), Alan Mason and Simon Smith.

They play a mix of gypsy, jazz, bluegrass and folk roots, but with a definite emphasis on the manouche sound pioneered and made famous by the great Django Reinhardt. They have played from the streets of Birmingham, for private parties and in small pubs, to more prestigious events such as Brecon and Cheltenham Jazz Festivals.

An interesting, endearing and at times eclectic range of music awaits …………

Tickets £15 (in advance only)
