Big Band Charity Concert in Caldicot

The Bryan Jones Big Band will be performing a Big Band Charity Concert at Caldicot Choir Hall on Saturday 10 March.

Expect an evening of big band music in the style of Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Glenn Miller, Ted Heath, Woody Herman, Buddy Rich, Stan Kenton and many others.

All twenty musicians are either professional or semi professional from North West England and the Midlands who get together regularly to play their kind of music for the enjoyment of the audience and themselves.

They've toured extensively at home and abroad, and over the years have featured guest stars including George Chisholm, Roy Castle and Joe Harriot.

The gig has been arranged by the Rotary Club of Chepstow in aid of the Wales Air Ambulance.

Doors open at 7.30pm - concert commences at 8pm.


Tickets available from Alan Jones on 01291 620175 or email alansjones @ ukonline.co.uk or contact any member of Chepstow Rotary.

    I hope the gig went well, I know only too well how difficult it can be to drum up support for a charity "do" We had a smaller affair in Caerwent on the 24th March with the music being supplied by Mid Life Crisis in aid of Cancer Research Wales with another planned for the 14th july. Good luck with the fundraising
