It was an idea which came about after a bar owner noticed a distinct lack of the sound of jazz in Swansea on a Monday night. And now 12 years on, audiences young and old are flocking to Uplands to get their weekly fix.
Back in 2010, Noah Redfern decided to start a jazz night at Noah's Yard after the old Monkey bar in Swansea city centre, which has hosted one, closed down for good.
With the help of the likes of the Dave Cottle Trio, Gething Liddington Quartet, Dick Hamer, Jango Haze, Elaina Hoss, Dom Norcross, Groucho Club, Tommy Harris Quartet, Paul Smith, Gary Phillips, Afternoon in Paris and legendary bassist Alun Vaughan, the night has gone from strength to strength.
