12.09.2008, Jazz Club RURA (ul. Łazienna 4) - An Oxford-based band Jonquil performed their first concert in Poland. The sound in live was much livelier than the recorded version (you can find the samples on their myspace page: www.myspace.com/jonquiluk), and in our interview, Hugo Manuel and Sam Scott from the band explain this difference. In video, they also talk about the history of the band and how their music changed through the band’s development.
