The Little Con began in October 2005.
You can read a bit more about how/why it began on our About page.
It was held every second sunday of the month, 6.30pm @ Cecil Street Studio.
We can't seem to find any records (if there are any) for the months before August 2006, but when you start an event that explores something so 'fleeting' as improvisation, you're hardly thinking about the importance of keeping records. Although, Paul seems to remember a duet between Dianne Reid and Martin Hughes in one of the early months, so we hope that helps.
