Apr 17 2009 by Johnathon Menzies, Perthshire Advertiser Friday

FANS of live music in East Perthshire are in line for an evening of improvised entertainment as The East Coast Jazzmen head to Blairgowrie on April 24.

The Jazzmen will play a mixture of New Orleans and Chicago-style tunes at Roy Sim Antiques in Lower Mill Street.

Frontman Dave Fimister and Harry Morrison have been together since the late 1950s.

They have been a fixture at venues throughout Tayside but next Friday’s showcase will be the first time they have performed in Blairgowrie.

They will be joined on stage by around half a dozen other artists from across Scotland

Tickets are £35, which includes a three-course dinner at the attached Antiquary restaurant. Guests are asked to arrive at 7pm.
