This new 5 piece group have been thrilling audiences in their recent performances. This special gig is unique in that it is to be performed in the marvelous acoustics of Christ Church, Chatburn. Set in the beautiful Ribble Valley, this Church was the first to be built in the reign of Queen Victoria. In addition to the 5 members of the band, there are some special guests. Tom Allenby on saxaphone is only in his early teens, but you will not believe this when you hear him play. Ann Kelly on clarinet produces some of the most mellow sounds, and the vocals of Rebecca Joy will remind you of Ella Fitzgerald as she delivers jazz style phrasing to well known standards. The talent from these young people will astound you. Wonderful music played and sung with excitement and feeling in a superb setting. Truly a unique night not to be missed.
Tickets at only £5 include a variety of refreshments, and are available from Roy Porter, Butcher, Chatburn, or by post from Mr.H Douglas, 24 Ribble Lane, Chatburn, Lancashire. BB7 4AG. Please make cheques payable to Christ Church Chatburn. All proceeds will go to Church funds. Venue. Christ Church, Sawley Road, Chatburn, Lancashire.
