THE LIBERTY STREET JAZZ BAND

13 May 2004 - Clevedon Jazz Club

On Thursday 13 May Clevedon Jazz Club welcome for the first time at their Walton Park Hotel venue, the Liberty Street Jazz Band - Traditional Jazz from Wales at its Swinging Best. The Band was formed in 1993 with members from other local well known Welsh bands and has since gone from strength to strength playing driving, swinging jazz drawn from a vast repertoire.

In addition to their regular local Jazz venues, The Liberty Street Jazz Band have appeared several times in St. David's Hall, Cardiff and at the BBC Llandaff, and have guested more than once on the Welsh Current Affairs Programme 'Heno'. Their music has also been regularly broadcast on BBC Wales Jazz Connection. They are a regular attraction on the New Orleans Riverboat at Henley on Thames and have appeared at the prestigious Bude Jazz Festival for several years. They were the only traditional jazz band to be invited to play at the Coleraine Milk Cup Festival in Northern Ireland.

The members of the band are Marcus Bridgeman on trumpet, flugelhorn and cornet; Dr. John Davies on clarinet, soprano and alto saxophone; Davey Simmons on trombone and keyboards; Dewi Peters on banjo; John 'Sticks' Cole on drums and Derek Newton on bass and sousaphone.

The doors at Clevedon Jazz Club's Walton Park Hotel venue open at 8pm, the music starts at 8.30pm and its £6.50 'on the door'. Further details of this and all other Clevedon Jazz Club events, and Club membership - members get a substantial discount on admission charges! - are available from Trev on 01275 343210 or from the Club's web site at http://www.clevedonjazzclub.co.uk.
