10th Alford Jazz Festival 11th, 12th and 13th of July 2008

This year we are putting the emphasis on Lincolnshire’s own talented Jazz Musicians. The weekend we kicked off with a JAZZ SUPPER at the HALF MOON, West Street. Good food, with Dinner Jazz from the Grimsby based band GENTLE JAZZ. >>> see the band and who was there!

The Saturday lunchtime concert was held in the Half Moon gardens and featured
JOHN LEVOI, GRAHAM EADIE, and PETER BARNABY, otherwise known as SWINGFELLAS, playing their gypsy jazz,
and THE BACK OF THE MOON BAND with Alford Jazz Club residents JOHN MURRAY, PAUL HICKSON, SARAH EVISON, GORDON ANDERSON, PHIL TAYLOR and PRIS MCGIRR. >>> see the band and who was there!

SHINY STOCKINGS are a nine piece swing band comprised of members of the famous KEITH BALDWIN BIG BAND. They played music from the Swing era for listening and dancing in the MANOR HOUSE MARQUEE. Barbecue food was served by the Olive Tree. >>> see the band and who was there!

The Sunday JAZZ PICNIC was at our traditional venue in the gardens of ALFORD MANOR HOUSE. New Orleans style music by TONY ORME and the SARATOGA JAZZ ENSEMBLE. Brolly parade. >>> see the band and who was there!

This year AFM are introduced a new event. On Sunday evening saxophonist Rick Woolgar brought three other top notch players: Pat McCarthy on guitar, Warren Jolly on double bass, and John Perry on drums to the Half Moon. This was a great opportunity to hear these four prestigious musicians play together. >>> see the band!
