The Ugly Bug Ragtime Three – presented by Hawick Music Club – bringing live music to Hawick

“The versatile Edinburgh-based saxophonist and clarinetist John Burgess (Nova Scotia Jazz Band, Grooveyard, So in Love etc) has found the time to spawn another new band, a trio featuring him exclusively on clarinet, plus Duncan Findlay on guitar/banjo and Andy Sharkey on bass, and a repertoire of mostly long-lost numbers from the 1920s played with vigour and pep.

it’s difficult not to use guitarist, raconteur and prolific hatcher of new bands Marty Grosz’s style of language when describing the like-minded Burgess. Great fun, and a classy, authentic act”.
