I'm looking forward to this year's development of my Dreadbeat & Jazz Project. The buzz I'm getting on social media and friends around the city indicates a good turn out. I hope they are right. We did the project live last year at the Birmingham Symphony hall Cafe barr and it was a packed gig. http://www.thejamhouse.com/birmingham/live-music/event/4523/jazzlines-presents-delano-mills--february-2018.htm (http://www.thejamhouse.com/birmingham/live-music/event/4523/jazzlines-presents-delano-mills--february-2018.htm)

Sounds like an interesting project, Jazzy... looking forward to the report. ;)

Seems like the venue thinks my bass is more important to show than my face as the band leader.

Somebody clicked 'Save & Close' a little too quick on you Jazzy. Nice gig you have there. :)

Well I think my face is likely to have scared more people than my bass so maybe that was a good strategy. We got a good crowd so I guess it worked. :-)

Sounds like a great concept for a night of music, good to hear you got a nice turnout, hope it went as expected musically. Definitely an odd photo choice. What is the difference between "keyboards" and "reggae keyboards" in the musician credits?
-
In the context of that gig one keyboard player did all the jazz parts and the other did what is a rhythmic technique used by reggae keyboard players playing usually an organ sound. Its called the bubble. Listen to the guy playing the organ.

Next gig with my NotStrictlyJazz Quartet at our first Jazz festival. (http://mostlyjazz.co.uk/line-up/delano-mills-notstrictlyjazz/)

Sounds appropriate that the "Not Strictly Jazz" band plays the "Mostly Jazz" festival.

Depping on bass for a band called Hope & Glory http://www.hope-and-glory.com at The rhythms of the world festival in Hitchin, Hertfordshire this coming weekend 11th August 2018 http://www.rotw.uk/what-is-rhythms-of-the-world/
It's one of those late notice dep's with 26 tracks about 8 of which I've played before in other bands. some i've head before, others are completely new to me but no rehearsal and only one other person in the band I have depped on a gig with before. A perfect recipe for success .....Should be fun!!!.

I'm doing a gig with Musical Youth at this club in London on 10th November 2018. Never heard of the venue but it's name is interesting.
Any alembicians planning to turn up let me know. I'll most likely be bringing a series I Europa.

Here is another gig I have on 7th September with a Stevie Wonder Tribute band at the Eastbourne Pavillion Bandstand. We played there about two years ago but the band lineup has changed somewhat since then and now I'm playing bass instead of guitar and this is only the band's 4th gig.

The last time I played there I took my Series I Dragon Magic with me for one it it's rare gigs.

Nice stuff Jazzy!! Looks and sounds great!

I hope we have a good enough name to still pull a decent crowd as usually we do festivals that have a ready made crowd. We had rehearsal on Sunday and there are murmurings about a possible stateside tour some time next year. Early days yet but the lead singer did a 10 minute gig in the states recently with a pick up band at a Ganja festival in California and go the vibe that there is interest there for the band. So we shall see. It will be good to do some touring again.

It would be so cool if you toured here in the US with Musical Youth! I would definitely go!

I'd definitely go if there was a southern California show.
