The next Jazz Brunch on 27th May features pianist Rob
Eckland. Starting a little later at 1:00pm and consisting
of two 1 hour sets with a short break between, Rob's sets
are always popular so booking is stongly advised.
Welcome
to 3Greens. We are a family operated
restaurant dedicated to providing the highest possible quality
at a realistic price. We look beyond the aerodrome to provide
a calm and relaxed environment for all who visit us. We see
ourselves as a part of the aerodrome and the wider
community as witnessed by our charity involvements, our quiz
nights and our Jazz brunches - the last two especially supported
and enjoyed by our neighbours from the wider locality. We
are an inclusive place - children being especially welcome,
though we do insist that, for their own safety and out of
respect for fellow customers, they remain at their table and
do not run around the restaurant.
Check out our events page where you'll find details of upcoming
events - especially the Sunday Jazz Brunch sets - we've added
an 'Add to Favorites' button on the events page for your convenience.
You can download a printable pdf of our upcoming gigs here.

Kwabena
on TV
Some of our Sunday regulars will remember the brilliant young
vocalist Kwabena Adjepong who has performed for us. Kwabs
was recently involved in a project for BBC2 called 'Goldie's
Band: by royal appointment' where a group of young musicians
from markedly differing backgrounds were thrown together as
a band to perform a one-off gig at Buckingham Palace for Prince
Harry.
Here is Kwabs' solo spot: I think we can safely say the boy
nailed it!
We're
delighted to say that Kwabs will be back with us again soon
- check out the events page for his and all the other performers'
gigs. They're all amazing and all for free!
Gabrielle
Ducomble For those yet to see our latest
star vocalist, here is a video clip of Gabrielle (and her
band) recording her latest album, J'ai Deux Amours.....
Alicia
Hart with Wayne Martin and Jon Russell Here's
another clip which features three more of our Sunday regulars:
Alicia Hart, Wayne Martin (trumpet) and Jon Russell (on bass
here but playing 6 string guitar when at 3G).....
Al
Scott and Henry Gilbert Two more of our favorites, Al Scott (piano)and Henry Gilbert
(bass) seen here with drummer Marco Q.....
Simone
Kaye and Rob Eckland Two
more of our dearest friends performing at 3G. The audio quality
is not as good as we would have liked but it certainly gives
you an idea of just how good they are!

pass at Elstree - what a glorious noise! (Thanks to Mick
in the tower for the 'heads
up').
TV
personality and author Carol Vordeman and Lord Sebastian
Coe were recently at 3Greens twice in one afternoon! They
came in prior to and after their helicopter flight in G-TOPC
(belonging to our friend and neighbour, David Goodman) to
view the progress of the construction of the Olympic Village
at Stratford. Lord Coe had pressing matters to deal with but
Miss Vordeman stayed to chat with Caroline and Laura (above).
Helen
Skelton (left), presenter of BBC TV's Blue Peter,
visits 3Greens. After an exhausting day cycling a rickshaw
(with a huge tyre attached) up and down the apron for Sports
Relief, Helen and the film crew ended the days filming with
a well earned cup of tea and cake having earlier joined
us for lunch.
And
recently we were twice visited by national treasure, TV presenter,
sporting hero and tireless charity worker (for which he received
his Knighthood), Sir Ian Botham (right; with Laura)
together with his wife Kathy (Lady Botham) and son, Liam -
also an ex-professional sportsman and now a TV presenter for
Sky Sports.
Most
recently we were paid a flying visit (quite literally)
by multiple BAFTA and Academy award winning actress,
writer and comedian, Emma Thompson. Unfortunately
there wasn't a camera available to record the visit
so you'll just have to take our word for it!
Seen

entrepeneur, James Khan with his family.
