gig
on Saturday 18th May. The event starts at 19:30.
Pear O'Legs is back in Bristol at West Street Kitchen, this time as a first, our night will be a lot more jazz than it is folk. Fear not, the music will be as beautiful as ever and you'll be in safe hands with these two acts.
Jamal Shamal
Bristol based duo Jamal Shamal is made up of Stevie Jo Dooley (Toddler, Soma Soma) and Danny Wallington (Malt House Jazz Band) who consider themselves ‘practice buddies’. Playing together almost everyday can do wonders! Stevie and Danny will bring you a set of jazz tunes, expect foot-tapping double bass lines and ear-boggling piano improvisations. The two are also known to add folk inspired tunes with vocal harmony arrangements.
