Acton Zappa Next Gig - 12th July

Our next gig will be part of "Our Big Gig" an event taking place over a week-end and organised by Superact. It's a free outdoor event with many bands. Acton Zappa will be playing in Hampton Square, London, TW12 on Sunday 12th July. We will play a 45min set starting at 4pm or so. If you live in the area we hope to see you there.

Acton Zappa @ The Rocket

We had a very enjoyable gig at The Rocket last Saturday. Thanks to the enthusiastic audience and to Gilly and Graham our guest players.

Well not quite but sorry to report that, due to too many other commitments, Helen Tate has decided to quit the band. I'm sorry she's gone but respect her decision. This means that for the time being we return to being a trio. I'm not totally pissed off about this because the more people in the band the greater the hassle for me in organising rehearsals and so on.

Fans of Helen can continue to see her performing with Spanner Jazz Punks and Spanner Tate and, as I have issued an open invitation to her, she may sometimes appear as a guest with Acton Zappa.

Talking of guests there will be one and possibly two saxophones joining us for a few numbers next Saturday, 9th May, at the Rocket.
