Yes Folks… Wednesday 28th June 2006 is the first of many to come of Jazz Tap Jam Nights. The UK’s hottest talents will be there. There will be live music, special guests and it is an open floor so if you fancy joining in bring your tap shoes along although you do not have to be a dancer to attend, you can simply relax, have a drink and watch the entertainment. It is £5 entry on door at The Oxygen Bar - Irving Street, Leicester Square, London UK. The nearest tube station is Leicester Square.
Please see http://www.oxygenbar.co.uk for full address / info.
The next Tap Jam will be held...
£5 entry.
Please visit http://www.digress.co.uk for directions etc. Food is available to order and personally I recommend the Rustic Platter £12.95 and enough to share between 2-3 people. See the menu on the digress website.

A book I recommend is Living with Legends by Stephen Clark. I can honestly say, that Jimmy and Steve are two of the nicest people I know and they are a great double act! Please visit http://www.eabf.org.uk/clark-bros/legends.htm
This is another great book I recommend, written by Rusty Frank. I was lucky enough to get my copy signed when she was here in the UK taking a tap workshop which I took part in. You can get your personalised copy too.
