Report on Summer Evening Jazz Concert

Saturday 15th July 2023

Well we were blown away- almost by the weather- at the Summer Evening Jazz on Saturday. With our old favourite Classic Traditional Jazz of The Salty Town Six who got our over 700 crowd in a foot tapping mood.

Despite so many calls asking if the event was still taking place the entrance gate had people turning up in droves before 5pm, three quarters of an hour early!!!

Probably because it wasn't warm The Scouts; Phil's Pizzas and Brentwood Brewery plus the Coffee van did very well but Molly’s Lollies was out in the cold!

However, everything turned out to be "Too darned hot " when The Jive Aces hit the stage to great applause and soon everyone was dancing to the great music they gave us.

Thanks go to the many dedicated helpers we had who despite the rain on Friday and wind on Saturday made it all happen.

Our sponsors and generous raffle prize donors plus our wonderful audience will ensure our charities receive substantial funds from our joint efforts.

A GREAT BIG THANK YOU TO YOU ALL.

Wonderful Summer Evening Jazz Concert in 2022

What an incredible evening at which over 750 people enjoyed the 2022 INGATESTONE ROTARY’S JAZZ EVENT!

The Traditional New Orleans SALTY TOWN SIX gave us a wonderful start to an evening of truly exciting foot tapping music.

And when the stage came alive with the world renowned jive & swing band THE JIVE ACES, the audience were treated to such a fantastic show of swing & jive music that the ground started to rumble and so many of them had get up and dance.

Everyone seemed to enjoy a special summer’s evening with either their own picnic or from the food and drink vans who kindly offered tasty refreshments.

Without the kind and generous sponsors, we would not be able to run what has now become such a noteworthy event and which our chosen charities Marie Curie; Chess Homeless and The Not Forgotten Assoc. would not be the beneficiaries of the ground breaking profit of over £10,000.00.

Our thanks go particularly to Lord Petre who allowed us to be in the marvellous gardens of Ingatestone Hall - truly a gem in our Village!.

To everyone who came and, we hope, enjoyed a marvellous magic and fun-filled evening, after three years of lock down, may we thank you so much for being with us and supporting what ROTARIANS do,
Help Others whilst having fun doing it!.
