Hello jazz peeps!
And here we are, in June, the mid-point of the year… Not quite bustin’ out all over but there’s still time. Meanwhile, if it’s HEAT you want, may we suggest warming yourselves up at one of the Splash Point gigs below, where the temperature will definitely be pushing the mercury up!
But first, here are some of the highlights from May:
Previously, at Splash Point Jazz:
May started in style courtesy of Jane Tuff with Neal Richardson at the glorious Buxted Park Hotel for Bank Holiday jazz lunch. (Next one Sun 6th Aug)
Alex Clarke, at Seaford, raising the temperature (and the roof…) with Neal, Andy Hamill and Phil Crabbe.
ARQ at Eastbourne: Alison Rayner, Deirdre Cartwright, Diane McLaughlin, Steve Lodder – and behind them all our good friend Buster Birch drumming up a tropical storm.
Neal’s ‘Maximalist’ London launch played to a full house at the Crypt, St Martin-in-the-Fields, in Trafalgar Square, no less. With Jo Fooks, Sue Richardson, Winston Rollins, Luke Rattenbury, Miles Danso and Alex Eberhard.
Sunday Jazz on the Terrace at the Relais Cooden Beach Hotel: Neal and Miles surfing the thermals (or possibly wearing them??).
And we’re back for the summer season at Alex Polizzi’s fabulous Star at Alfriston, for jazz lunch al fresco, Neal with Miles Danso.
