It's Playtime at The Outhouse in Edinburgh
Tuesday, February 18, 2014
Edinburgh-based saxophonist Martin Kershaw (pictured) and guitarist Graeme Stephen are launching a new musician-run music night called Playtime at The Outhouse in the city’s Broughton Street Lane on 20 March.
“Since the demise of Henry’s Jazz Cellar as a regular hub where musicians could try out new ideas and formats in a listening environment, it’s been very hard to find a sympathetic venue,” says Kershaw, who as well as fronting his own projects is a stalwart of the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra’s saxophone section. “We’re hoping to create the right setting that will give a platform for the creativity that we know exists on the scene both locally and nationally.”
