PRESS RELEASE

LONG WEEKEND 2002
Clevedon's 10th Annual Jazz Festival

With less than 2 weeks to go, Clevedon's 10th Annual Jazz Festival - three 
days of some the finest jazz around - seems set to be as good as in 
previous years. Advance tickets are selling well. Postal sales have been 
brisk from those unable to get into town and those who can, can still get 
to CLIC where tickets are still on sale - but going fast!

Shades of Shearing play at the Walton Park from 8pm on Friday 30th August 
at the Walton Park Hotel. Four outstanding, Devon based musicians play 
tribute to the music of George Shearing - the English jazz musician who, 
with his quintet, took America by storm just after WW2 with such beautiful 
compositions as 'Lullaby of Birdland' and 'September in the Rain'. Led by 
drummer Denny Hutchinson this band is outstanding.

Saturday morning, local Clevedon company AMPEP sponsor the traditional 
outdoor 'Shoppers Concert' in the Triangle Piazza. This year Mike Cooper's 
Bristol based Excelsior Jazz Band perform their own brand of Traditional 
Jazz from 10.30am. Saturday Evening the fun moves to Princes Hall where, 
from 7pm virtuoso guitarist Tony Oreshko's trio pave the way for the Star 
of the weekend - Georg Melly who, ably backed by John Chilton's 
Feetwarmers, performs as only he can with a few tales and even more songs. 
George was a big hit last time he visited Clevedon and Clevedon Jazz Club 
is looking forward to this visit.

Sunday morning the Pier Trust sponsor the by now regular 'End of the Pier 
Show' from 11am with The Blue Notes, joined as usual by Henry Davis and 
John Gill. The weekend ends as it begins - at the Walton Park Hotel where, 
at 8pm John Burnett's Jazz Bandits take the stage. And if previous 
performances we've seen are anything to go by take it they do - by storm! 
This is one of the finest British Trad Bands on the UK Club and Festival 
circuit. 'A band not to be missed' said organiser Trevor Tomasin.

Advance tickets for the whole event or any day can be had in advance, in 
person, from CLIC in Old Street Clevedon or by 'phoning Trev on 01275 
343210. Any surplus tickets will be available 'on the door, on the day'.

Good Jazzin'

Trevor Tomasin
