I feel so jealous, I was looking at all the stuff the Leeds council
put on, but its all a bit too far for me to travel, maybe next year.

Could you recommend some older stuff of his, hate to buy a bad album
and put myself off for life.

He also a bloody good DJ, in a music selection type way.

Their's also a free festival in Gillingham Park, Canturbury St, Gillingham,
Kent, England, on the 20th July.

O.K. its not acid-jazz but JTQ are playing there, and my mates band
Groove Connection, which is acid-jazz, well funk are as well.

12 noon - 10.30pm start to finish

12 ish The Groove Connection, opening the fest. Unless they can
perswade the organisers to allow them to play nearer to QTY.
After all it would be logical to have the 2 acid-jazz group playing
one after the other.
9pm ish JTQ

E-mail me if you want a list of the other bands, but I think they are all
mostly local bands.

Si.

P.S. The festival is called "Parklife" corny or what!
