The next Jazz Social will take place on Saturday 27th April 2024!
Great news music fans…the Northwood House Jazz Social is back with our ever popular spring edition. This time our accomplished musicians will be bringing us some toe-tapping “Spring Soiree” which is sure to give us a musical night to remember!
This is the second of four Jazz Socials for 2024, with everyone in 2023 selling out.
The Jazz Social-“Spring Soiree” is brought to you by the Island’s Jazz supremo Jim Thorn and special guests, providing the evening with a relaxed musical ambience.
So bring good friends, grab a table and enjoy a laid-back sociable evening of great music and great company in equal measure. Tickets include either a medium glass of house wine (175ml), or a flute of zero alcohol prosecco and of course our famous cheese or pate platter to enjoy during the evening too.
The vibe is informal and relaxed and thus quiet, yet sociable chit-chat is very much encouraged while Jim and his guests provide the perfect atmosphere. The Jazz Social is much about providing a venue to meet up with friends in a relaxed club-style environment, and perfect for those looking for something original and a little more exclusive.
Talented guests joining us for this Jazz Social are as follows!
Gary Plumley – flute and sax
Loren Thorn – vocals
Jim Thorn – piano
Tom Ford – bass
Ken Black – percussion
Doors open at 7.15pm, with drinks and cheese in the Drawing Room before live music begins at around 8.00pm.
