Nice way to spend a Friday afternoon before Christmas; listening to my teacher John Seeley Jazz Quintet with Steve Waterman on Trumpet, MarkbRich on Bass, Alex Hearn on keys and Marc Cecil on Drums.

And so the line has been drawn has it ???
Accepted!
Woodwind Players aren't going to let us be outnumbered by brass are we now?
Let's see how many Woodwind players we can get to match the brass section!
Pop the date in your diary and send us an email to register!

NEW YEAR, NEW BAND
Most musicians have finished the great Christmas concert marathon and you're probably in a lull before the holidays start. Take advantage of this (relatively) quiet time and get planning your 2026 new year's resolution.
Start by putting 15th February in your diary – we're holding our annual open rehearsal. You should play to a reasonably high standard and be prepared to attend future rehearsals on Sunday mornings. We're especially keen to hear from brass and percussion players as we don't want the woodwind to get the upper hand! (And a cheeky oboe wouldn't go amiss, either.)
Use our contact form to confirm you're coming, so we can have music ready for you on the day:
