Look at this! Dave and Kev of Poke O'Swedgers fame have released their album 'Byromaniac'. You can buy it at: https://pokeoswedgers.bandcamp.com/album/byromaniac

As well as all the fantastic songs that you will have heard at The Brampton Sessions, you will also hear some of our other well known guest acts reading some rather fine poetry and prose (Judy Dunlop, Johnny Steinberg and Kieran Smith and Lewis Young).

A message from Jig for a Kiss:
We have an announcement… Sadly, after thirteen years or so of being JFAK, we have decided to call it a day. We’ve had a real blast of a time performing at so many venues for so many audiences and we’ve all really loved it. However, life priorities and commitments are pulling people in different directions which is making practising and committing to gigs more difficult. Rather than fizzle out, we want to stop while we’re still firing on all four cylinders and so we will be playing our last gigs over the summer months. Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the thirteen years that we’ve been together. Playing to enthusiastic, supportive and sometimes rowdy(!) audiences has made being in JFAK an absolute joy.
As a finale, we are hoping to put on a final gig somewhere in Chesterfield… watch this space!

Don't worry - we are still intending to run the Bampton Sessions.
