Loxwood Jazz Club
Simon launched the Loxwood Jazz and Blues Club to raise much needed funds to extend and improve his local village hall. The first night in December 2009 was a sell out and it continues to sell out most months. UK based and international professional musicians join Simon to provide a variety of highly entertaining evenings in our intimate hall. There is a licensed bar with real ale and the hall is set up in a relaxed way with candlelit tables to create a fantastic atmosphere.
Tickets are £15 (unless otherwise stated) and available from Peter Winney on 01403 752 377.
Doors open at 7.30pm with the music starting at 8pm.
North Hall (Loxwood Village Hall), Guildford Road, Loxwood, RH14 0SF
