Desperate Measures
Desperate Measures is a jazz band based in the West Country, playing jazz standards ranging from gentle bossa novas to swinging blues.
Members of the group first started to meet for jazz jam sessions in late 2008. Rehearsals moved from a cellar in a private house to the village hall in Meavy which has the advantage of being opposite a nice pub! Although band members come from a wide area stretching from Truro to Totnes, Meavy has now become their adopted home. In June 2009 the band played summer afternoon jazz and blues on the village green at Milton Coombe and now plays regularly for Sunday jazz lunches at The Bedford Hotel, as well as performing at a variety of other events.
7:30pm at Meavy Parish Hall with a licensed bar; Tickets cost £8
