Summer Evening Jazz Concert

A Wonderful Summer Evening Jazz Concert  - Sat 2nd July 2022

 What an incredible evening at which over 750 people enjoyed the 2022 INGATESTONE ROTARY’S JAZZ EVENT!

The Traditional New Orleans SALTY TOWN SIX gave us a wonderful start to an evening of truly exciting foot tapping music.

And when the stage came alive with the world renowned jive & swing band THE JIVE ACES, the audience were treated to such a fantastic show of swing & jive music that the ground started to rumble and so many of them had get up and dance.

Everyone seemed to enjoy a special summer’s evening with either their own picnic or from the food and drink vans who kindly offered tasty refreshments.

Without the kind and generous sponsors, we would not be able to run what has now become such a noteworthy event and which our chosen charities Marie Curie; Chess Homeless and The Not Forgotten Assoc. would not be the beneficiaries of the ground breaking profit of over £10,000.00.  

Our thanks go particularly to Lord Petre who allowed us to be in the marvellous gardens of Ingatestone Hall - truly a gem in our Village!

To everyone who came and, we hope, enjoyed a marvellous magic and fun-filled evening, after three years of lock down, may we thank you so much for being with us and supporting what ROTARIANS do, Help Others whist having fun doing it!
