THE next Stroud Jazz Sessions on Thursday, June 8 at SVA, 4 John Street, will feature saxophonist Dom Franks as special guest.

With saccharine bebop licks edging into funky dives and samba sways, Dom is well-known saxophone player from Cheltenham.

Dom's opening performance will be followed by the usual energeti-frenetic jam for all-comers to play, sing, or listen.

  • 8.30 pm till 11pm, Stroud Valleys Artspace, 4 John St, GL5 2HA. £5 (£3 performers).
