1	CLUB DJANGO-PZ Based in Penzance Cornwall UK A monthly club for acoustic musicians interested in GYPSY SWING and the music of Django Reinhardt.
2	ABOUT. DJANGO left an incredible legacy of music in his unique style, now played worldwide by gypsies and gadjos (non gypsies) alike. Although there is interest in the UK it seems to be in certain areas. Club Django-PZ is creating an interest in Cornwall. Of course in Penzance (10miles from Lands End) we are a long way away. To get here means a long journey, but the beauty of Cornwall is worth travelling for a holiday, don’t forget your instrument!

4	Playing We will provide chord sheets were required. A soloist will lead in with the melody and then nod to the next person to take over improvising. They in turn will nod to the next person and so on, the last soloist plays the melody to bring the tune to an end. Try not to play over a soloist as this causes confusion, always wait for your turn to solo It is important to play at a volume to suit the soloist so he/she is heard and vital to play in time. Timing ensures the rhythm flows and does not put the soloist off. If you think you may be out of time stop until you pick up the beat. Remember the object is to make music to the best of our ability and have an enjoyable jam. The sense of humour of our members ensures we will have a lot of FUN.

13	News Everyone who has attended has said the same thing – I have always been interested in the music and listening to Django’s recordings but I don’t know how to start! At present we have musicians who have been playing Celtic/Irish, Rock, Folk, Ragtime, Blues and Classical music, all thrown together in a melting pot. Most are novices to Gypsy Jazz but this is more than made up for by sheer enthusiasm, we’ll get there!
