News Update - March 2006

Regional Band Showcase 27/3/06


Minghe Morte Trio / The Matt Ball Quintet / We Free Kings Sextet
We can now confirm the bands for our first regional band showcase. It's an exciting line-up with three quite different bands - you can read their own descriptions on the downloadable flyer. It was hard making the final choice with over thirty bands applying. It will be a really special night listening to some excellent music and an opportunity to network with other guests and the Jazz Yorkshire team. We hope you can come and give these musicians your support.
