Election over and with no other preoccupations 

we are now rushing towards Christmas.

As this will (probably) be my last blog before January may I wish all of you a Very Happy Christmas time, and a New Year full of all the things you like best.

In that I also hope that at least some of what you like best is Jazz at Hedsor, because we have agreed to be at The Hedsor Club for 2020! We have a program for January and look forward to not only seeing YOU all there again in January, but maybe some new faces too. Even some not so new faces would also be most welcome!

January 2020

One last plug. Thursday is our very special Christmas Party, with Tina May and Duncan Lamont Jr heading the guest list. Poster below, some tickets are still available.

I want to thank all of you who come so regularly to support our Live Jazz. Thank you to all the many who not only come and pay to listen but who come and help both before, during and after every Thursday event. I am not going to pick out names for special mention, except one.

MARTIN HART

Not only is he our regular drummer, but he looks after the programming. He also does the bulk of the announcing in his own unique style too. In all he ensures that what you get for your entry fee is a quality product. 

Thank you Martin for all your hard work.

Many of you know that our entry fee doesn’t always cover our weekly costs. Hedsor Jazz has been supported for over 15 years by an organisation called Jazz Angels. These angelic people regularly directly debit money into an account that makes good any income shortfall and ensures our ability to book ahead. If you would like to be part of that angelic assembly please contact Jazz Angels treasurer John Dutton, and he will tell you more and get you to sign a Direct Debit mandate.

A brief recap on last Thursdays session. OK It was election night and our audience was slightly thinner on the ground. BUT the music was very good indeed. Jezz Cook and Mike Wills gave us a fresh look at tunes all written by guitarists. I congratulated Jezz at the end of a very entertaining  evening and he said it had been a great rehearsal!! 

My photos of it are below

Don’t forget that a performance is made up of two halves, the performers AND THE AUDIENCE. Without both, you cannot have Live Jazz!

Well there you have my end of year blog. 

Festive Greetings to all you jazz fans.
