News extra September 2021
Hello all Jazz friends,
A warm welcome to all our new friends who have joined as members recently.
This extra edition of NJ news is sent because there was a date error in my first September one which is important to correct:
The DUSKI event at Haverhub is on Friday 24th. September and NOT Thursday as written.
Tickets through Haverhub at www.haverhub.org.uk or follow the link www.narberthjazz.wales
We are sorry for the mistake and hope you will understand as this is a special event presenting the best of Jazz in Wales today.
We hope you will come to this exciting new arts venue to enjoy this fabulous band. We have presented Duski at the Plas hotel a few years ago and they have just got better since then, so those that remember them will notice their progress. They are all graduates from Welsh College of Music and Drama who are also involved with other projects, but Duski is their first choice band. Their recent appearance at Green Man Festival was really well received and they have just released a live album or the first time.
Having an extra news gives us the chance to fix the rest of this year’s dates for Narberth Jazz shows, but there are more details on each show on the website www.narberthjazz.wales

November 19th. SALUTE TO HUMPH
The Salute to Humph is to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Humphrey Lyttelton’s birth and to showcase his wonderful life, times and music. The tour will highlight how Humphrey Lyttelton led the way for the jazz revival of the late 40’s and 50’s and brought jazz to the mainstream with the first UK jazz record to reach the Top20, ‘Bad Penny Blues’. https://youtu.be/N1-pQziWiKk
