For the last fifteen years(!) I’ve enjoyed working with my great friend JIM BAYNE to raise funds for his wonderful ‘Softpower’ Charity which builds schools for underprivileged children (and there’s a lot of them!) in Uganda. For the past three years Jim has promoted fantastic all-star concerts at The Jazz Centre UK and this one is no exception with ALAN BARNES and JULIAN MARC STRINGLE (reeds) IAN BATEMAN (trombone) CRAIG MILVERTON (piano) SIMON THORPE (bass) GEORGE DOUBLE (drums) – oh and me too! The concert starts at 2pm on Saturday October 5th at The Jazz Centre UK, Beecroft Art Gallery, Victoria Avenue, Southend on Sea SS2 6EW and tickets are only £15.00! There’s parking nearby and you can book by going on-line at www.thejazzcentreuk.co.uk – or why not give Jim a ring, on 01284 762508? Either way don’t miss this all star strolling troupe! – we’ll have fun and play some great music!
