Happy Musical New Year 2025

Hi all, Warren James here, I would like to wish you all a very happy new year – whether you are following The Jake Leg Jug Band, The Lonnie Donegan Story, or the Warren James’ Lonesome Travellers. We have enjoyed very much being among the hardest working bands of 2024 and I end the year on 258 concert performances – from jazz, jug bands, skiffle and other roots music – it has been a real blast meeting you all!

We look forward to seeing you at a gig in the next 12 months as we travel from England, Scotland, Wales (no Ireland yet but give us chance).

Some exciting news – all bands will have a new album this year, including the Jazzaholics (all being well)
