Another Friday is fast approaching (FRIDAY, 10th AUGUST 2018) and you are wanting to know who we have booked for you at FARNBOROUGH JAZZ CLUB, yes? Great news, it’s the marvellous ‘MARDI GRAS JAZZBAND’. Keith and I love them, because they are always full of fun (well they’re not called the Mardi Gras for nothing). They play a mixture of jazz for all preferences. I said last time, band leader (trombonist) ROB PEARCE, is a frequent visitor of New Orleans, really ‘living’ his jazz. Rob again, is joined by LEIGH HENSON (trumpet), plus JOHN ELLMER (reeds by the dozen), JOHN STEWART (banjo & guitar), STEVE SMITH (bass) and PAUL BAKER (drums). Come on over to Farnborough Village. We are in the Sports Club and will be enjoying ourselves with a pint, or two (etc) of Shepherd Neame’s brew. We have a great atmosphere here, have a free carpark. So, don’t be shy, come and listen and for still only £10, see how we keep young here.
UNDER 25YR OLDS – IN FOR FREE limited period!
