Hi to all you lovers of live music of the jazz idiom,
Wasn’t it a great October gig with the youthful Ben Holder and his band?! He’s definitely on the returns list, next time, I hope, with his theatrical Gypsy Fire show. I’ve included a YouTube, courtesy of Jazz&Jazz, of one of the numbers he played at Olney at the foot of this post.

Olney Jazz Club
Hello Alan,
Has the Jazz Club at Great Denham Golf Club died the death? My wife and I were regulars at the monthly sessions. I suppose it wasn’t an ideal venue; not having a stage. Haven’t got round to visiting the Olney Club yet, I live in Bromham. Actually the last jazz function we attended was at Hill House Farm, Carlton last Summer. There isn’t much jazz on offer at Wavendon these days.
Regards
Laurie Walshe
Hi Laurie
Here is the post for upcoming events held at The Bedford. I help Tad Newton promote them by posting them on Jazz&Jazz.
