2015 / 2016 - Gigs, gigs, gigs!

Playing in both Swingologie and Swing Gitan certainly brought in more gigs, particularly with Swing Gitan who were in ascension getting all kinds of gigs. Although I now also had a full time day job to cope with as well, since Jane and I had decided to save up to relocate to Australia permanently.
During this period, John Coulson and I started backing our old friend Matt Palmer on some trio gigs at the Pelican Club, and I was doing duo gigs with either Richard Smith, Elliott Lewis, Matt Palmer, and even the occasional solo guitar gig.
Swingologie were rebooked again for the Jazz in the Library gigs, and Swing Gitan was now boosted by addition of John Coulson on double bass, after Rob Coates decided to pursue his original career as a guitarist, and joining Maniere Des Bohemiens.
Just a small selection of gig shots and clips from this period:
