MUSIC/JAZZ.
Summerhill have bags more integrity than you-know-the-bands-l‘m-talking-about. as evidenced on their second (and current) LP West Of Here. They also feature ex-members of Felt. Snakes of Shake and The Primevals. so don‘t talk to me about pedigree. The Salt Cellar from Cumnock once played a gig to approximately twelve people at Rooftops. so it‘s not riskingtoo much to bet they'll have a larger audience tonight. See preview.
