Duane Andrews & the Hot Club of Conception Bay

Duane Andrews & the Hot Club of Conception Bay play St Mary's Church on Tuesday 24 November, their first Scarborough date. It's a Canadian trio, and the sound they're bringing over is a bit of a cross: traditional Newfoundland music played with the swing jazz of Django Reinhardt. If you're not familiar with either side of that, it's the folk music of Canada's east coast meeting the gypsy jazz that Reinhardt made famous in Paris between the wars.

At the front is Duane Andrews, a Juno award-winning Canadian producer, composer, and guitarist who's spent plenty of time performing across the globe. He leads the trio, and their latest album is described as the best evidence of his particular musical vision. That's the record they'll be drawing from on the night, so you'll be hearing the newer material alongside the older stuff they've built their reputation on.

It's a small group, just the three of them, and the whole thing is built around that blend of Newfoundland tradition and swing jazz. If you've got a soft spot for folk or a fondness for jazz, this sits right in the middle of the two. It's a long way from Conception Bay to Scarborough, but that's the distance they're covering for this one.

The gig is at St Mary's Church on Castle Road, YO11 1TH. Doors open at 7:00pm and the music starts at 7:30pm. General admission is £15 plus a £1.50 booking fee, which comes to £16.50 total; there's also an early bird price of £12 plus a £1.20 booking fee, making it £13.20.
