Note please. Unfortunately the gig scheduled for the Albert in Bakewell on Friday July 17th is cancelled as the restaurant has closed.

Sunday 19 July, 2-5pm. Winster Secret Gardens again with Salfield/Chandler Quartet playing at Headlands again.

Advance notice of some August and September gigs:

Monday 10 August. Rising Sun, Fulwood Road, Sheffield. Salfield/Chandler (modern jazz quartet) will perform in this pub which is getting a big reputation for music of all kinds.

Saturday 15th August. H’s Winebar, Bakewell, with Matt Chandler

Steve

During June and July the various Steve Salfield bands are quite busy.

Here is a list of Steve’s gigs. I hope you can make some of it.

June and July Gigs

H’s Winebar Bakewell. Saturday June 27th 2009

I’ll be blowing my own horn once more. This time with the marvellous Curt Shaw on guitar, playing from about 8-11pm. I say Curt is marvellous because he has a reputation of being marvellous and I’ve been wanting an opportunity to play with him. I’ve never actually heard him or even met him so it should be interesting for all of us.

We’ll be at H’s winebar on Water Street, Bakewell. 01629 815107

It’s a lovely place with a restaurant, winebar and an outside terrace for a warm evening. You can come for just a drink if you like.

Good food, good wine and lovely people.

I hope you can make it.

As always feel free to mention that you particularly want to hear the Steve Salfield Duo so we get more gigs.

It’s a small place so sure to see you there (or to notice that you aren’t).

Art and Jazz in Winster Church  June 30th 2009

Winster is having an art exhibition in St John the Baptist Church, Winster from Monday June 29th to Saturday July 4th.

There’s some great work being shown in a special setting.

By far the best way to experience the exhibition is on Tuesday June 30th from 6 to 8 pm when The Steve Salfield Duo (that’s me and the brilliant Pat Sprakes on guitar) will be playing in this wonderful space and a glass of wine or two will be served. Prayers are optional.

Just turn up.

Steve Salfield with old mate Matt Chandler will be at Albert Restaurant once more on Friday July 17th 2009, playing from about 8-11pm.

Bridge Street, Bakewell.  01629 981 0077

The restaurant has a lovely feel and the food is excellent.

I hope you can make it. I’m keen to keep the gig going so as always, when you book don’t feel shy to mention that you particularly want to hear the Steve Salfield Trio.

Saturday 18 July. Winster Secret Gardens – an intriguing insight into the back yards of Winster (there are some beautiful and surprising gardens and delicious refreshements) with Steve Salfield Quartet playing in the garden at Headlands, East Bank

Sunday 19 July. Winster Secret Gardens again with Salfield/Chandler Quartet playing at Headlands again.

Hope to see you soon.
