27 April 2006 - Clevedon Jazz Club

THE CAMELIA JAZZ BAND

If you like fine old-style New Orleans jazz - it's at Clevedon Jazz Club's regular the Walton Park Hotel venue on Thursday 27 April curtesy of the Camelia Jazz Band from South Wales.

Formed a few years ago by John Minnion - the organiser of the internationally acclaimed Bude and Keswick jazz festivals - the Camelia Jazz Band brings together some familiar names to play relaxed old style New Orleans jazz. The Camelia are one of the resident bands at Newport's Black Horse and also regularly appear at jazz venues in Bristol, Cardiff and Ross-onWye, and of course Bude Jazz Festival!

Multi-instrumentalist Norman Thatcher plays trombone, and replaces Bob Gribble who sadly passed away last year. John Minnion plays cornet and has appeared at Clevedon Jazz Club in the past with his Mississippi Joymakers. Rod Chambers plays clarinet, alto and tenor sax.

At the drums is Clarence Nugent and Sarah Thatcher plays flawless banjo. The rhythm section is completed by the hard swinging bass of Mike Gale.

The doors at Clevedon Jazz Club's Walton Park Hotel venue open at 8pm, the music starts at 8.30pm and its £6 'on the door' (Members concession £4-50). Further details of this and all other Clevedon Jazz Club events, and Club membership - members get a substantial discount on most admission charges! - are available from Trev or Bill on 0700 5806 252 or from the Club's web site at clevedonjazzclub.co.uk.
