28th June 2008 parade

We are pleased to announce that the following bands are booked* for the 24th

*subject to contract

Gwyneth Herbert

'A voice that's a knowing mix of honey, steel and gravel... Her voice vibrating over the lyrics in a way that makes your toes curl' - The Observer

'The jazz folk-diva with an awesome voice. Expect beguiling, powerful and often witty songs that strike an emotional chord!' - Time Out, London

'If Gwyneth Herbert is not a star before long, I'll eat my CD player' - The Sunday Times Gwyneth's website

Paul Jones and Digby Fairweather's Half Dozen

'Digby is one of our most articulate jazzmen in both his words and his music. Whatever he says or whatever he plays is of great interest to the world of jazz' - Sir John Dankworth CBE

Joe Stilgoe

'Well stone, the crows, this Joseph is a clever kid' - Sir Tim Rice 'I am completely knocked out by him in every way . its been a long time since I heard somebody play that kind of piano, along with his charm and his wonderful singing.' - Steve Ross

King Pleasure and the Biscuit Boys

Looking like they just stepped straight out of a 1940's black and white B movie, this inimitable six-piece delivers a shot of pure and authentic Jazz and Blues from a bygone era, when Swing was King

Tim Kliphuis

This young Dutchman ranks among the world's finest Jazz violinists, often named the successor to Stephan Grapelli. A talent not to be missed - make sure you don't! Tim's website

Les Haricots Rouges

A welcome return to Upton of this great fun French jazz band that plays New Orleans style jazz. Entertainment is 'guaranteed!' Les Haricots Rouges website
