The Con is on – underground jazz

PREVIEW - CON FEST 2009
The Constitution Pub

The line-up includes the Hannes Riepler Quartet; “Root 70” with Matt Penman and Jochen Ruckert; Will Vinson Trio plus guest Jason Palmer; and Round Trip featuring Richard Turner.
Trumpet player Richard Turner and Wendy Clare, the pub’s landlady, started Jazz at the Con Cellar Bar in October 2006 to make jazz accessible by well-worn method of making music in pubs.
“The intimate underground venue, with naturally good acoustics, provides a perfect setting for jazz/improvised/ acoustic music,” says Richard Turner.
