Our regular gig guide with Swindon's king of all things jazz, Dave Knight

I've been enjoying the smooth sound of jazz for over 60 years; Armstrong, Ellington, Mingus, Charlie Parker, John Coltrane and Miles Davis.... some I've had the privilege of seeing - all I've appreciated.

And although Swindon is hardly downtown New Orleans, we've some very special talent right here on our doorstep - Jamie Cullum et al. And some great regular jazz nights every single week.

Just find a gig and sit back and relax. It's my idea of the perfect evening. I hope it's yours. Regular Jazz Nights

There are a couple of venues in Swindon that offer regular, weekly jazz nights - The Old Bank and The Trout - but please check with each venue for full details. I'd hate for anyone to travel out expecting a great jazz night only to be disappointed!
