This pub is down the road from me, and they have had many great players there, so it's worth checking out: Wednesday Night Jazz - The Woodman
However, my daughter used to work part-time at The Woodman before going to Uni. I went down one Sunday evening just to hang out and have some food. There was a band playing - Female vocals, Guitar, Bass and Congas. It was so unbelievably LOUD I had to sit outside. Why do people amplify in situation with no drummer? The Congas were particularly painful.
That said, it was one night and I guess that shouldn't be indicative of the general quality of the music.
Similar threads... or are they? Maybe not but they could be worth reading anyway 😀
