Formed by jazz enthusiasts in October 1992, the band
began with practice sessions at the Kings Head Hotel
in Beccles, Suffolk.. Gradually the band attracted a
following of regular listeners and
after about a year the venue was changed to the Wine
Vaults in Blyburgate, Beccles. Although the vaults
were very atmospheric with marvellous acoustics they
were rather small and in October 1994 the
band moved to a large first floor room at The Swan
in Loddon, Norfolk.
In
2003 another move became necessary and the band was
welcomed with open arms back at their first practice
room in the Kings Head. The upstairs room is light and
airy and Stuart Janes, the landlord, puts on a special Jazz
Menu every Sunday evening with guest real ales and a
non-smoking environment (upstairs).
Christmas and New Year are celebrated in style with food
and "special features". Club members
frequently celebrate birthdays there amongst friends, bringing
cake to share with all while the band plays "Happy
Birthday" - one of their most swinging numbers !! |
