ROGER WELLS’<br>
NEW ORLEANS HOT SHOTS<br>
27 March 2003 - Clevedon Jazz Club<br><br>
</div>
Club night on Thursday 27th March at Clevedon Jazz Club’s regular Walton
Park Hotel venue features an old Club friend and in fact a Club member
who returns with his own and well established Bristol based band - Roger
Wells’ New Orleans Hot Shots.<br><br>
Roger is a stalwart of the local jazz scene and has played drums with
most of the Bristol bands at one time or another. He has also worked with
Alan Elsdon, Keith Nichols, Rod Mason, Kenny Ball, Roy Williams and the
West Jesmond Rhythm Kings.<br><br>
Roger formed the New Orleans Hot Shots in 1999, initially for a short
tour of Devon and Cornwall, and the musicians were chosen for their
ability to play in the ‘real’ New Orleans style - the success of which
comes over in their ensemble work. The tour was so successful with both
the audiences and the band that they decided to stay together and have
since been in constant demand for club and festival appearances.
<br><br>
With Roger on stage on the 27th March will be Steve Graham on trumpet,
Tom Whittinghm on Trombone, Martin Butterworth on clarinet, Bill Scott on
banjo and Roger White on string bass.<br><br>
The doors open at 8pm, the music starts at 8.30pm and its £5 ‘on the
door’. Further details of this and all other Clevedon Jazz Club events
