An amazing evening with Ken Bruce, Allan Rogers and a full house at the Hammond Theatre supporting the Princess Alice Hospice.  Over £10,000 raised doing what we love, playing the music love.  Thanks to Hampton School for hosting us.

Louise Marshall - master class act

An inspiring afternoon in the company of Louise Marshall working with the band and vocalists.  A real treat with an impromptu performance by her for the friends and members at the Ember Sports & Social Club.

Fine Women & Song

What a privilege to play at the wonderful theatre at Notre Dame School, showcasing for the final time our tribute to the unsung and under-represented females in jazz and big band music.  Great support from the staff and pupils at the school.

Back at the Albion

Great to be back (Feb and April) at the Albion running through some of the new, old, borrowed and blue pieces we've been working.  April saw all our vocalists in fine voice and a great crowd enjoying themselves.  Hope to back in June.
