The Blog is Back!

And to start off this week we must display our listing for JUNE:-

 

No, not only MUST we display our listing, but we are proud to do so as well. For a small jazz venue outside of London, with no street lighting (which disconcerted some the London based players when they first came to play for us) we are attracting some of the best players in the UK. We have a superb rhythm section and we always offer a warm welcome, so the musicians come because they like playing at The Hedsor Bar for Hedsor Jazz!

Last week was no exception, Nigel Price, who has often played to many hundreds of people, came in last week with a broad smile saying he enjoyed being back.

Coming this week (June 5^th)we have two players who are actually local to Hedsor. That wonderful innovative and exciting saxophonist Alam Nathoo now lives near enough to walk, whereas “The Filthy Six” guitarist James Fenn has to come all the way from WINDSOR. He used to cycle to us, but does now have a car! He actually replaced Nigel Price in “The Filthy Six”, and is a mean enough player to be doing Glastonbury this year. I won’t be!! It should be a wonderful Thursday night so do come along. The Hedsor Bar is a much more comfortable place than Glastonbury, and far easier to get to. All for only £10!

I will point out that Hedsor Jazz doesn’t have the facility for you to pay your entrance fee by any other means than cash. Our price reflects that, a simple £10 note each. If for any reason you come without that £10 note, do come in, but please leave your contact details with our door steward (usually answering to the name of Tracy) and pay us back  next time you come. We don’t want to turn people away; especially if it is your first time. We do want you to experience our Hedsor Jazz product. Some recent attendees come a distance to enjoy jazz with us. I must say I was very pleased that last weeks gig did attract some people from a little further away than normal. Coming from Kings Langley (Watford ish) shows true commitment, well done. Some of my pictures of the evening are below:-

One last point.

Nigel Price first came to us when we used to run a raffle. He told me last week that many small clubs do that still, as people enjoy the fun factor that the raffle can bring. So a question, do let us know if you would like to have a raffle at Hedsor again? We never did offer a Rolls Royce (unless it was Dinky Toy) and it does take up a bit of time that could be used for chatting, buying a drink, or even MUSIC, but if it would add to your enjoyment of an evening out, than do let us know your thoughts.

Don’t forget coming soon we have Steve Waterman (July 17^th), Alan Barnes and Dave Newton (August 14^th).

There are other live jazz venues about locally. Keep an eye open for Marlow Jazz, and Dawkes Music

But for now, from HEDSOR JAZZ…

Goodbye
