I also hear that Long Shoot are doing a free Jazz evening.
I'm not really into Jazz, but if its free might be worth a try.
If you've any other suggestions either in Nuneaton or within driving distance let us know.

Acoustic nights are usually singer/songwriters playing their songs (Or other songs) with just a guitar.
As for jazz - that's such a wide field of music - I like Miles Davis in his "electric period" from the 1970s and the Jazz/rock fusion stuff like Weather Report, Soft Machine (UK group) and Mahavishnu Orchestra. I've also recently been listening to trios - EST, Keith Jarrett - just piano, drums and double bass. Very mellow. Some people prefer the traditional miles Davis stuff. Bitches Brew is absolutely wild.
When people say "they don't like jazz" it's usually because they have an image of old blokes playing old fashioned music - you have to dip into the different areas and see what you like. You have to dip your toes in and see what you like.
