✨Dan Messore Standards Trio Feat. Jake McMurchie LIVE at MamGu’s Kitchen ✨

Friday Night Jazz in Tyddewi IS BACK! Join us for a relaxed Summer’s evening of world-class live jazz in the beautiful surroundings of the St Davids Cathedral Refectory.

We are excited to not only be welcoming back the outstanding Dan Messore Standards Trio but this time with a special guest, one of UKs finest saxophonists - Jake McMurchie - to play the music of Duke Ellington.

Jake McMurchie (Get The Blessing, Jazz Defenders) is one of the UK’s leading improvisers, he has performed with Bobby Shew, Pee Wee Ellis, Portishead, Massive Attack, and Super Furry Animals to name a few. He was awarded the BBC Jazz Awards Album of the year in 2008 (for Get the Blessing’s debut album), has been championed by BBC Radio 3 and London Evening Standard. Described as a “sensual tone falling somewhere between early Sonny Rollins and Pink-Panther tenorist Plas Johnson.”

The trio features:
🎸 Dan Messore - Guitar
🥁 Gethin Jones - Drums
🎵 Jake Newman - Bass
🎷 Jake McMurchie - Saxophone

Few musicians have left a mark on jazz quite like Duke Ellington. A pioneering composer, pianist and bandleader, he wrote some of jazz’s most beloved and innovative music, helping to define the sound of jazz for generations. Join Jake McMurchie and the Dan Messore Standards Trio for an evening celebrating the timeless melodies and unmistakable swing of one of music's greatest icons.

Guests will be able to enjoy drinks and light bites throughout the evening. The bar will offer a mix curated of Welsh beers, wines and spirits, alongside hot and cold soft drinks, nibbles, and snacks.

Following the success and popularity of our Welsh sharing platters at previous events, you can once again enjoy a selection of small bites, including cured meats, cheeses and olives. Platters must be pre-ordered in advance by emailing hailey@mamguwelshcakes.com.

With the historic setting, relaxed atmosphere and exceptional local and world class talent, the evening promises to be a memorable addition to St Davids growing live music scene - and one not to be missed!
