The concert held by the band on 4 February was sold out within days. I accepted 70 reservations and hold a waiting list of a further 19 people. So as not to disappoint anyone, the band will be returning to Tavira Garden on Saturday 4 March at 6 pm, and possibly on the first Saturday of each month after that. Ana Biscaia, who manages the restaurant at Tavira Garden is delighted to welcome Tavira Garden residents and holidaymakers as well as the Algarve residents in general. Her latest venture is to make Tavira Garden a cultural centre with art exhibitions, workshops, literary lunches, live music with a wide variety of tasty tapas. She also has her high quality food shop on site - a blessing for those who enjoy muxama and smoked mackerel.

The New Orleans Jazz Band was formed in 1998 by a group of international jazz musicians, all now living in the Algarve. The Band performed at the 1999 Loulé International Jazz Festival, since when it has become the busiest band in the Algarve. The Band´s current line up comprises Ray Charsley (trumpet/vocals), Dave Lawson (clarinet/saxophones), John Ballinger (trombone/vocals), Cory Sea (guitar), Luís Hilário (double bass) and Tony Scriven (drums/leader/vocals). The Band plays a mixture of blues, stomps, marches, spirituals and ragtime. Great music for dancing! They will be playing 3 x 50 minute sets all for the price of €10. Tickets are selling fast already!
