Narberth Jazz Newsflash

Narberth Jazz is proud to have the Salute to Humphry Lyttleton concert at the Queens Hall Narberth on 19^th. November, and now we have learned that this will be the Welsh premier for this important all star, 10 piece, touring band. The tour will be going to many English cities, but our concert is the only one in Wales – a Welsh premier in Narberth! We are able to present this great opportunity to hear and see the fabulous music that the colossus of
British Jazz has left us, because The Queens Hall has agreed to partner
with us on this venture.
To be sure of your tickets please order in advance by going to the ‘Events and tickets’ page of our website www.narberthjazz.wales

Young musicians sought for new Narberth band

21st September 2021

Narberth Jazz have the ambition of reviving an idea first achieved in the 1980’s by sax teacher Jim Luxton. We are looking for young musicians who would like to join a band to be tutored and formed to play at local functions in and around Narberth. All young instrumentalists with a minimum standard of grade 3 are eligible to apply as well as aspiring singers. The successful applicants will have weekly sessions in group playing from qualified teachers at minimal cost. The music played will be open to discussion but will guided by the ambitions of the band members. It is hoped that creative improvisation in jazz styles will form part of the on going programme.

We are also looking for a special musician who would like to take the lead with this project, but in order to make it happen we will apply for a national lottery grant to fund it. To obtain a grant we will need to show that there is an interest from local young people to start a youth band here, and that is why we are asking all who might enjoy being part of the project to contact us to let us know. You can send us an email info@narberthjazz.wales

Hello Friends,

I have to tell you the bad news first. The Social Evening planned for 24^th. June at the Plas Hotel has to be scaled down. Current Covid rules mean that we cannot gather inside, but the hotel has agreed that we can have a casual chat and drink outside on the terrace. They have also said that we can test the p.a. equipment which has been in storage for over a year. We had hoped to gather to chat and invite musicians to jam but do please come if the weather allows.
