We are incredibly proud to announce that Derek Nash Music, British Jazz Award-winning bandleader, composer, arranger, producer and engineer, has become a patron of The Lewis Project, and we couldnโt be happier!
Derek is one of the UKโs most respected and in-demand jazz musicians and he lived in the Sevenoaks area for many years, still regularly performing locally. Earlier this year, he visited us and played alongside our young saxophonist Robbie Ayers (seen picture with Derek), joining in on several original songs by our members. His warmth, generosity and energy brought smiles all round and we knew instantly he was the right person to support our work.
We asked him to be our patron that same night and just a few weeks later, he came back with a resounding yes. Welcome to the family, Derek!
๐ถ The Lewis Project, based in Sevenoaks, supports young musicians aged 16+ by promoting mental wellbeing through music creation, collaboration and community.
๐ท We currently have 2 free spaces available, as two of our musicians have recently moved on to university.
๐ We meet every Monday, 5.30pmโ9.30pm at HITB The Stag Theatre, Sevenoaks
