WRAYSBURY'S JAZZ CLUB

In October 2009 we celebrated 30th years of Wraysbury Jazz Club with 3 special concerts. It is an achievement for a jazz club to survive, so successfully, for this long and we were determined to celebrate in style. 

 

We had the first of the three on 29th October with the Chicago Teddy Bears Society Jazz Band. They are our most popular band and, as expected, got into the spirit of the occasion straight away with lots of requests, old favourites and new numbers. We had wine with our fish & chips, the Hall was decorated beautifully and we could not have got off to a better start.

 

On the second evening we had a complete change with a small, intimate concert in the Lake Room. We were entertained by the Rae Owens Trio which consists of double bass, reeds & guitar. Rae is not only an accomplished musician and singer but also a very funny man. It was a delightful evening with great music and a lot to laugh at. 

 

The celebrations were rounded off with a concert by Neville Dickie and his group. Neville is one of the most talented pianists in the county and gave us a truly wonderful evening. He played stride, boogie, honky tonk and blues and it was a real pleasure to hear him. 

 

Without a doubt our 30th Anniversary celebrations were a great success - hears to the next 30!

 

All our events are for members only, but you can easily become a member, just ring or email me.

 

The one exception to our member's only rule is the open concert in August and this year the band is Brian White/Alan Gresty. All are welcome to this concert on 10th August, but tickets must be purchased in advance. The cost of tickets  includes a fish & chip supper - the best value in town! This is an opportunity to try the Club out with out committing yourself. See you in August.
