NEW - 2nd Sunday Jazz House Band

Geraint James

Originally an electric bassist Geraint began playing in soul, funk, and pop projects from a young age. He later began studying jazz and acoustic bass when he met Joe, with whom he created a trio performing sell-out concerts at the Edinburgh Fringe. Since then, he has played in numerous projects in Bristol. Equally at home playing in blues bands, as he is playing swing, he is a regular fixture at the Green Park Brasserie, Widcombe Social Club, and local festivals.

Jake Stacey

Jake is a drummer with experience across many genres, including musicals, orchestral percussion and brass bands, and he performs regularly with rock, blues, soul and jazz bands. He has recorded for hip-hop artists, rock bands and jazz groups. Jake has performed with big bands, as a sideman for smaller jazz ensembles, and has run his own jazz groups. He used to be a regular contributor to the UK’s drumming print media (when such a thing existed), and he also plays bass and double bass in rock bands, jazz ensembles and in the Orchestra of Everything. He lives in Bath.

Joe Finch

Joe made his jazz debut at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, when he sold out his own jazz project after school. Since then, he has played at a high level in Paris, as well as working as a professional musician in China.  With a strong classical background his compositions draw on a range of influences with shades of both Debussy and Bill Evans. Although primarily a jazz player, he also plays local blues gigs on Hammond organ and electric piano.
