A taste of the Big Easy
By Dave Fawcett
New Orleans style traditional jazz is returning to Hatch End.
A music that seemed to lose popularity forty years ago is being greeted with open arms by local enthusiasts.
A new jazz club featuring the Colin Kingwell Jazz Bandits, who play on the last Friday of the month, has opened in the clubhouse of Parkfield Youth FC, in Uxbridge Road, Hatch End.
The first session was held on April 25. A great evening with excellent jazz, comfortable seating, bar, dancing area and a popular raffle. In running the club, the "Bandits" were pleasantly surprised that a larger than anticipated crowd attended and the atmosphere was great.
A second session was held on May 27, and was again a good night.
The next performance will be June 27, admission just £6.

Re my article on the new Jazz Club in Hatch End.
Minor correction. The second session was held on MAY 31, not May 27.
I was looking at a 1945 calender. Sorry !!!
For enthusiasts - - the line up of The Jazz Bandits : Colin Kingwell (trombone), Nigel Hunt (trumpet/vocals), Ron Rumbol (clarinet/sax), Peter Brooks (double bass), Dave Fawcett (banjo) and Malc Murphy (drums/vocals).
Hello Dave would you tell me where the Jazz club is please
