Moon Jazz & Blues Club

About

Moon Jazz takes place on the third Thursday of the month (except August), now in it's seventh year. We have a regular following and a good attendance ranging in age from 16 upwards. The Moon Jazz House Band (MJHB) usually hosts 8 of the eleven nights each year and the remaining nights are offered to jazz combos to do the hosting. We positively encourage young musicians (and older) to join in and help create a spontanous evening in our jammer sessions that top and tail the main set. Younger jammers call tunes with the house or host band to start the evening, followed by a set from the main band, ending in a older jammers session. The evening ends with the house/guest band and jammers may join in if they wish. This all takes place in the old cinema which feels and looks every bit like a jazz club. This is music of a social kind. The audience and musicians get a great evening out that's lively and sociable.
