Regular Sunday lunchtime diet of jazz at St George’s cafe

The regular sessions aim to provide a varied diet of music for jazz fans and attract a new audience to the reviving venue in the heart of the town.

The first one is on Sunday February 18 and features Norfolk Jazz, who – like the other bands - will be majoring in jazz standards and music from the American songbook. Tim Densham (clarinet and sax), Peter Gregory (guitar) Liz Underdown (bass) and Vic Brown (drums) are a versatile combination whose experience ranges from skiffle and rock and roll to orchestral and dance music.

Tickets are £6 and jazz fans are also invited to combine the music with enjoying a light lunch at St George's café.

Norfolk Jazz drummer Vic Brown is organising the jazz events and said: 'We have built up a regular and loyal audience at similar sessions we have run at Sheringham Little Theatre over the past three years and are excited about taking jazz to another venue.'
