Geoff's Jazz nag is again a little late, and probably less compete than I would like it to be, but a few family matters have rather taken precedence on my time at the keyboard and turntable this last few weeks.

Suffice it to say that TONIGHT (September 7th) we have the Clive Burton Quintet (complete) at The Hedsor Social Club from 8.30 pm onwards. I hope to bring along a few CD’s for sale at silly money prices. Of course the jazz will be fantastic, the measly charge for his great night out is still only £3, with of course an exit fee of a raffle ticket for your added excitement!

I will draw to you attention yet again that Century Jazz play every Sunday evening at The Fifield from 8pm onwards. Coming soon is the chance to celebrate their 11th year there, with special guest Mark Nightingale joining Clive on trombone, with of course, Mike Wills remaining as the reed section. Don’t miss this purely raffle funded event. I have attached a word document poster for you to display in an advantageous position to further spread the news.

Another event looming soon on the horizon is the Third Cores End Church Jazz Concert. Always a wonderful musical evening, watch this space for further details, but I can tell you that tickets will be on sale very soon at £10, which includes light half time refreshments (a bit better than 1/2 a lemon!!) and if we are lucky enough to make any profit, it will go to charity. The date is Saturday October 14th from 8 pm onwards.

I hope fervently to write more next week, in the meantime, help keep live jazz alive but turning up to at least one or two events a year!
