Programme 2011

The Jazz Club is not currently booking visiting acts. However, we're still running our popular Jazz Café.

This is our attempt to open up the club to as large and varied a group of local and not-so-local residents as possible. To this end, it works in a different way to most other music events. Drop in and leave as you like - there's no need to be there at the start or stay until the end if you don't want. Chatting whilst the band plays is positively encouraged (so bring your friends along), as is wandering off to the bar. Kids are also very welcome, as long as they bring their grown-ups. And we try to keep the door price as low as we can.

Music is courtesy of the Katie Elliott Trio/Quartet - Katie on piano with Thad Kelly (bass), Andy Tween (drums) and sometimes Jake McMurchie (saxes). Additional 'sitters-in' are a regular feature. If you're a musician who'd like to do a turn, please contact us beforehand. Singers are particularly welcome.

Unless it says otherwise, all events are at the Chipping Hall, doors open 7.30 and the music starts around 8. £2 entry for under-18s.
