Once more with feeling: our last Crazy Coqs gig of 2015.

We've got to that point in the year when we start to count off the lasts. For us it's the last JR Quartet gig of 2015, back where so much of it started at the Crazy Coqs, the cabaret venue inside Brasserie Zedel off Piccadilly Circus.

Obviously I'm be a fan, but if you haven't been you really should, if not to see us then to see someone else. It's a genuine cabaret/ jazz room in the old style. Elbow to elbow it seats no more than 90. The sound's terrific and the performers are all but sitting on your lap. Except for me, because I know how much I weigh. I sit by the piano.

Start with dinner in Brasserie Zedel, which I regard as a gift to London.  Here's what I said about the place when it opened in 2012, before they'd paid me a penny piece to play their jazz room. Hell, the soup is still less than £3 and there's a three course menu for £12.50. Follow that with the late show. We're on from 10.30pm. We do food and drink songs, and I tell filthy stories. One involves my mother and a life size carving in wood of a fan's penis. Don't judge me. These are the events that have made me the man I am. In case you're wondering what we sound like, here's a recording of Black Coffee (or click on soundcloud panel below).

In the new year we'll be playing all over the country and you can find out more over on the live show page here.

Meanwhile this is where to get tickets for the Crazy Coqs gig.

See you there.
