An eagle-eyed LondonJazz reader has pointed out that almost all the gigs in the Ronnie Scott’s BritJazz Festival in August are announced and on sale. Prices are generally kept lower than during the restof the year.
It’s a varied and adventurous programme. Shedloads of integrity. Not a penny of public subsidy. Congratulations to Ronnie’s!
