Report on Summer Evening Jazz Concert

Saturday 13th July 2024

After a very wet week leading up to the Saturday of the Concert, the attendance was slightly down on 2023. It didn't rain during the evening and the sun did appear briefly! - but that didn't stop everything going with 'a swing'. There is always a great atmosphere at this event.
With our old favourite Classic Traditional Jazz of The Salty Town Six the evening got off well with the crowd in a foot tapping mood.

Once again the entrance gate had people turning up in droves before 5pm, three quarters of an hour early!!!

Hot Dogs & Hamburgers were provided by Phil; Brentwood Brewery - the Bar plus the Coffee van and also Molly’s Lollies was here again!

When The Jive Aces hit the stage, there was great applause and soon everyone was dancing to the great music they gave us.

Thanks go to the many dedicated helpers we had who 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.

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.

Without all those who attended and the kind and generous sponsors, we would not be able to run what has now become such a noteworthy event and our chosen charities Farleigh Hospice, Macmillan Cancer Support, Dementia UK and The Not Forgotten would not be the beneficiaries of the not inconsiderate profits achieved.

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!.
