Celebrating the Joy of Jazz
Jazz UK has lost of yet another long established festival venue!
The Lakefront Loungers, Hemsby Autumn Parade circa 2010
Sadly, Pete Lay has announced that this Autumn’s Jazz Parade at Seacroft, Hemsby (29th September/2nd October) will be the last, with the 9th/12th 2018, March Jazz Parade, called off. In Pete’s own words: “So after nearly 30 years of Hemsby jazz breaks, time has been called.”
Announces new dates into the Autumn.

“Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father’s will. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.” Matthew 10:29-31
What better way to introduce this very special interlude during the 2017 Ramsgate Seaside Shuffle Festival which brought back memories of previous Seaside Shuffle Sailor’s Church sessions led by our magnificent jazz musician and dedicated Christian,
Trefor Williams, absent this year due to illness. So this feature
is for you, Trefor, raising prayers for your wellbeing.

Which would you have preferred, a touch of the blues, an aching heart, or a rag to
wipe away the tears? Fear not, none of the above were needed at
Ramsgate Seaside Shuffle where, on the Saturday afternoon,
when the band was Pete Leonard’s Red Hot & Blue.
With Robin Beame and his Imperials! Humour, fun, and repartee
on Saturday, 15th July, in The Small Boat Owners Club.
Jazz fans “over bored”? No chance during this session!

“Formed originally as a community street band for the Whitstable Oyster Festival parade. The Native Oysters have evolved to become a funky, electrifying experience with tight, powerful horn arrangements and creamy, soulful vocals from traditional second-line
classics through Americana, 70’s funk, right up to full on hip-hop and R&B,
all given the Delta city treatment, Whitstable style.”
