Brecon Jazz Festival Hot Club Gallois

Hot Club Gallois are a dynamic 4-piece gypsy-jazz band based in South Wales playing the hottest picks of the Swing Era. Their irresistible mix of fiery violin, lyrical vocals, virtuosic guitar and stomping bass has thrilled crowds around the British Isles. There set contains Django Reinhardt classics, Swing flavoured jazz standards and some Hot Club Gallois originals. From gypsy to jitterbug, ballads to bolero, Hot Club Gallois will transport you to the swirling dance halls and gypsy camps of Paris in the 1930's and 40's. https://www.hotclubgallois.com/ Facebook hotclubgallois https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XymZbvzTl_E https://youtu.be/bRq7ci_N5CE?si=BPfE7ywgZYDEnYPJ XENIA PORTEOUS - Violin Fast and furious improvisation on a knife edge is Xenia's idea of a fun night out. Her fledgling career to date has included several TV and radio credits including the BBC, ITV and S4C. She's performed in some great venues like the 02 in London and the Royal Albert Hall, and plays regularly in a number of musical styles from classical to disco. Although Xenia grew up with the violin she didn't study at music college, believing the pressure of earning a living from music would take away the joy of playing. In 2013 in a kind of pre-mid-life crisis she resigned from a lucrative finance job and escaped to South America for 6 months where she realised that music was too important not to be the focus of her life.

Brecon Jazz Festival Jack Pearce Quintet

Described as “A band about to make its mark on UK Jazz”, The Jack Pearce Quintet showcases Jack’s original compositions that pay homage to jazz traditions while injecting a fresh, inventive spirit. A band of Leeds Conservatoire Alumni, the Jack Pearce Quintet focuses on a fusion of melodic and technical excellence. Experienced thanks to Brecon Jazz Club here at The Muse back in November 2025, the festival is thrilled to have these musicians bringing their fantastic energy and sound back to Brecon! Drawing influence from Post-bop and 90s world fusion, the original compositions have a uniquely open and interactive approach. The bands strength is particularly apparent in a live setting where countless hours have been dedicated to every facet of the music, then refined on the stage, culminating in an exciting musical experience. Strong rhythms underpin vibrant, playful melodies creating a fusion complimentary to both traditional and modern jazz. Coming off the success of their first UK tour, the Jack Pearce Quintet are quickly building a reputation as a band to watch on the UK jazz scene.

Merthyr Tydfil (Western Aphelion)

Comet opens have been held at Merthyr Tydfil for many years. A fantastic Comet National Championship was held here in 2024. The club is nestled on the shores of a large reservoir in a beautiful off-grid location, which is within the Brecon Beacons National Park (known in Welsh as Bannau Brycheiniog – or informally as ‘the Bannau’). All facilities are available thanks to the efforts of the club members, who are excellent hosts. If the sun shines the views are spectacular. How to Find Merthyr Tydfil Sailing Club Since the upgrade to the Head of the Valleys Road (A465), the route to the sailing club has changed slightly. From the A465 follow the signs to the Brecon Mountain Railway, but instead of turning into its car park continue straight on. Keep right at the junction just beyond the old railway bridge. The road will take you to the bottom of the valley at which point you must bear right, up the hill. When you reach the east end of the reservoir dam, continue straight ahead along the east side of the reservoir. In about one hundred metres take the left gate, the other is for the second Mountain Railway station. The sailing club is a further 1300 metres further along this road, with the reservoir on your left and the railway on your right. If you think you are going into the middle of no-where, you are probably going in the right direction! When you get to the sailing club bear right past the sailing club.
