I can only say that my mileage has certainly varied:
John Parricelli was excellent a couple of weeks ago, as was my dinner
eaten while listening.
Tommaso Starace a few months ago was one of the best gigs I've ever
seen.

Last Tuesday of each month (winter only, they don't want to annoy the
neighbourhood when the windows are open) is the regular "Backstreet
Jazz" gig with top UK players.

Publicity isn't as absolutely up-to-date as it could be, which is a
pity given the quality, but Local Secrets seems to have been reliable
so far.
