Celebrating Haversham School’s 50th Birthday

Last weekend we were invited to perform at Haversham Village School’s 50th Anniversary. It was a fantastic event which celebrated the school’s success, with alumni and current students present. There was even a performance from some of the children which was great!

The Jazz Juice quartet was booked to play for a few hours with space for a couple of speeches midway through, and we mainly focused our repertoire to match the 50yrs of the school, adapting some hits within this period alongside traditional jazz band repertoire, to really set a beautiful atmosphere to the day.

Despite being prepared for the worst weather-wise in a marquee, the sun came out and the guests were able to enjoy the music and event in the sunshine! Perfect!

Wedding in Northampton – with an Impromptu Addition!

Tuesday 21st of April will be a day that Alex and Lucy never forget! They got married on a beautiful, sunny day, and had their reception at a pub in a small village in Northampton, where the narrow roads are flanked by thatched cottages.

We were booked to play for a 4hr stint on their big day, and were to be found performing inside the pub in the event of rain. Fortunately, this never came, so it was under the gazebo we went. Even the canvas couldn’t protect us from the warmth of the sun, as it travelled directly over the top of us, and managed to give us a bit of colour as it poked it’s way through underneath the canopy!

It was a privilege to play for Alex and Lucy, and we were able to play a number of their favourite tunes, including a few made famous by ol’ blue eyes, Frank Sinatra. We even had young Toby (a nephew who happened to have his trumpet in the car!) come up and play a few tunes with us! He did fantastically and has a bright future ahead of him.

The feedback all-round was wonderful, and it’s with much anticipation that I look forward to the next JJ performance, less than two weeks away!

Performing at Le Bistro, Wendover

Last night the Jazz Trio performed at Le Bistro in Wendover – a fantastic restaurant whose food is well respected county-wide.

We were booked specifically for a party taking place at the restaurant, and it happened that one of the customers was a jazz aficionado, requesting tunes such as ‘Flamingo’, ‘Sweet Georgia Brown’, and ‘Satin Doll’, which we were only too happy to perform.

It was lovely to see the guys dancing to our repertoire, as well as the other patrons who stayed longer to see the end of our set.

It sounds like the venue also want to create a regular jazz club night, with us as the house band – very exciting – so we’ll be sure to let you know when that comes to pass!

Jazz Juice and Big Mama Funk – Christmas Performances at Cliveden House

It is with great pride that we can say that we have provided jazz music at Cliveden House for the last couple of years.

The setting, service and commitment to quality throughout the organisation is incredible, and it has been a privilege to spend so much time there over such a special season of Christmas.

Our jazz solo guitarist and trios have been performing there on Christmas Day and Boxing Day, and Big Mama Funk filled the dancefloor in the evening – the reception has been wonderful. We hope to be back again next year, working hard to provide the best quality performances.

In the meantime we are looking forward to the New Year, and an exciting year ahead of similar performances – stay tuned!
