Crimbo Jazz, Songs & Carols

Dave Cottle Trio and Sarah Meek are playing The Observatory on Sunday 20 December, as part of a Christmas special put on by the Swansea Jazz Club. It's the club's final gig before the break, so it's the last chance to catch them in the city before the holiday. The night is called Crimbo Jazz, Songs & Carols, and the title gives you a fair idea of what's on the bill.

It's a mixed bag of a set: Christmas jazz and swing, popular songs, and some carol singing. The trio provides the jazz and swing, and Sarah Meek leads the singing, so you'll get a bit of both across the evening. The carols are a part of it too, rather than just a side thing, and they're worked into the mix alongside the jazz and the songs. It's a Christmas special in the truest sense — the whole thing is built around the season.

As for the practicals, it's on Sunday 20 December, from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM. The venue is The Observatory, on The Slipway in the Maritime Quarter, Swansea, SA1 1YB. Tickets start from £12, and it runs for two and a half hours, so it's a full evening rather than a short set. Since it's the club's last gig before Christmas, it's the final one they'll be putting on until the new year.
