June was a Monster Month for Neal’s “Not” King Cole show, starting at Seaford and on to Germany for two amazing gigs – one in a castle and one headlining a garden festival.
Then there was the Eastbourne Rothesay Tennis Finals with Neal’s Septet – for the 14th year!!
year!!
June also saw the launch of our new weekly residency at the being-refurbished Relais Cooden Beach Hotel – photographic evidence and dates for July are below.
We then had the wonderful and entertaining Mike Piggott Quartet at our Eastbourne Club

And now a word from our good friend and jazz champion – both musically and morally – Nigel Price:
Grassroots Jazz Fundraising Campaign
There is currently a campaign running to help struggling grassroots jazz clubs that didn’t qualify for funding in the post pandemic Culture Recovery Fund.
It’s a desperate time for UK jazz and we have already seen closures, sometimes of clubs that have been in existence for decades.
If you would like support this cause then please visit
https://www.grassrootsjazz.com
…where there are a number of fundraising initiatives, including a raffle, a ‘Gofundme’ page, a direct PayPal donations link – with an option to opt for ‘gift aid’.
The site will also keep you informed of live fundraising events and a list of clubs that have received grants.
Your help would be appreciated enormously.
Thanks
Nigel Price
