Guess who’s back..!
THE George Huxley Jazz Men will return to Tysoe Village Hall, by popular demand, to celebrate St George’s Day on Saturday, 23rd April.
George Huxley is much in demand in the UK, Europe and the USA, and his soaring soprano evokes memories of the legendary Sidney Bechet, with whom he has often been compared.
He is a busy and popular musician who is well-known for many years as a fine clarinettist, soprano and alto saxophonist.
George will be joined by Jamie Brownfield on trumpet, Ron Hills on trombone, John Fellowes on bass, and Ken Freeman on piano. Jamie, 23, won the Rising Star award in the 2012 British Jazz Awards.
The traditional jazz concert starts at 7.30pm, in Tysoe Village Hall, in aid of the much-needed village hall refurbishment.
The hall has recently installed disabled toilets, widened doorways, new storage, a new stage, new chairs and table, as well as new heating, lighting and re-wiring.
The next phase will be sound insulation, new stage curtains, window blinds and redecoration.
Tickets cost £10. A raffle and a licensed bar will also be held. Tickets are available from Tysoe Village Stores or from Sue Baxter on 01295 691011 or baxtersue@btconnect.com
The concert was a sell-out in August last year, so those who would like to attend have been advised to book tickets early to avoid disappointment.
