How to find us

Carswell Golf and Country Club, (Nr Faringdon,Oxon, SN7 8PU) is about 10 miles west of Oxford on the A420. There is a large car park, accommodation, bar, tables and comfortable seating in a large room where you can eat food at reasonable prices. Food is normally served at 7:30. Chef Lucien , his brother Julian & their staff, will make you very welcome. Telephone 01367 870909 to book accommodation or Richard Speed (01367 710593) for food/music tickets or music only tickets.

We are a group of non profitmaking Jazz fans that run these gigs. The door takings pay the musicians. Our excellent Yamaha U3 piano is tuned (paid by the raffle money) before each event.

Our popular second hand recordings table continues. From each successful sale, 50p is retained towards running costs, the remainder being passed back to the seller. If you wish to dispose of your surplus recordings, bring them with you and we shall do the rest!
