Speakeasy Jazz Club Torquay
Speakeasy Jazz Club was first formed, about 3 years ago, by a bunch of musicians who noticed there was a deficit of modern/mainstream jazz in the area and felt for the good of the community this had to be rectified.
At first the club was held on a very casual basis - jazz jam sessions - on a Wednesday evening at Hullabaloos in Babbacombe, who allowed us to hold the sessions free of charge in their function room. It then became apparent that more was needed to attract the general public, so professional local bands were invited to come and play on a fortnightly basis, progressing on to some big names from further afield. As time went by it was soon realised that we had to do more......
We started afresh in June 2005 at a new venue - The Farmhouse Tavern. We felt that it was an excellent venue offering ample parking, good disabled facilities and food if required (at reasonable prices), plus of course normal bar prices apply for drinks. In the past we have been entertained by Renato D'Aiello with Phil Lee, The Sheena Davies Quartet, Greg Abate, Digby Fairweather, John Critchenson, Julian Mark Stringle, Alan Barnes, Craig Milverton, Zoe Schwarz with Rob Coral, The Charlie Hearnshaw Quartet, Katya Gorrie Band, Martin Dale Quartet and others. The club is going from strength to strength and we have an excellent season 2006 planned. In January 2006 we introduced a membership scheme which offers benefits of reduced prices on concert nights.
The club still operates on a Wednesday evening, 8.30pm to 11.00pm, twice a month. We hope you like the look of our 2006 programme!

July 15th Greg Abate and The Cool
Greg Abate - Prince of Be-Bop is primarily known for his artistry on alto saxophone. Tonight however, he joins with Speakeasy's house band "The Cool" playing tenor saxophone.
He will have a mid-session 'break' playing his alto with the rhythm section and I understand he will also have his flute and soprano sax at the ready.This year offers the chance of seeing and hearing his multi-instrumental skills.
