Domingo Caramelo

SiteOwner — Sun, 26 Apr 2026 16:00:00 +0000

The Champ hosts a “Sunday Nice” session on the afternoon of the fourth Sunday every month. Domingo Caramelo kicked off these sessions in June 2023 and they’re back. Despite being a quartet they bill themselves as “Domingo Caramelo Trio” which is one of many enigmas about this wonderful jazz band. Domingo Caramelo consists of Dayle on bass, Rob Norris on keys, Jon Gillies on sax and Jim Blofeld on drums. Their repertoire includes jazz standards such asMisty, Autumn Leaves and Over the Rainbow

The band name, which means Sunday sweet in Spanish, combined with a picture of John Thomson in his Louis “Niiiice” Balfour guise on the poster, hints at an irreverent approach but that should not be mistaken for a lack of finesse. These guys are superb musicians. Enjoy!

This is an Appledore Music Festival pre-festival gig.

Just East of Jazz – presented by North Devon Jazz Club

JUST EAST OF JAZZ AT THE BEAVER

Appearing at North Devon Jazz Club in The Beaver, Appledore on 27th April will be Just East of Jazz. Back in the 1990s the band pioneered the incorporation of East European and Middle Eastern musical influences in to jazz but has since developed a unique sound which seamlessly links composition and improvisation. To quote Jazzwise Magazine the band’s music is ‘a restlessly virtuosic display of exceptionally punchy rhythmic precision and tight but flighty improvisation” while The Guardian wrote that the band is ‘one of the more unusual world-jazz ensembles…the authority and energy of the group has been growing over the years, and they have long been a vivacious proposition live.’

The band will be at North Devon Jazz Club in The Beaver, Appledore on 27th April. As well as the core line-up of saxophonist Jeremy Shoham, percussionist Rick Finlay and bassist Phil Scragg, the band will include the addition of keyboard wizard Danny Manners whose musical background includes a lengthy period with award-winning prog rock band Big Big Train.

Learn more about Just East of Jazz and listen to their music at justeastofjazz.com.

The gig starts at 8:30pm and is hosted by the North Devon Jazz Club. Thank you NDJC. There is no entrance fee. A collection will be taken for the band. For a meal booking please phone The Beaver on 01237 474822
