The New Forest Jazz Workshop, was back with a bang last Wednesday evening 29th June, at Godshill Village Hall.

We had nearly 30 members, and a raucous evening, thanks to Will Emmins, our musical Director.

The New Forest Jazz Workshop is growing from strength to strength, thanks to Will. We covered some old favourites, and a couple of new numbers. In fact, we have quite a repertoire now.

Our next meetings will be at Godshill Village hall again, right opposite the Fighting Cocks pub, at 7.30 pm, on Wednesday evenings 20th July, 31st August, 28th September, 26th October and 30th November (put those dates in your diaries please) All levels of musicianship are welcome.

Also, don’t forget our workshop all day (10.00 – 4.00 pm) on Sunday 30th October, featuring Ben Essenhigh, a rhythm specialist. For details of all these events, don’t hesitate to call Derek Ayling, on 01425 650770, or contact by email, on: Hippotrain@btinternet.com
