Sherborne Jazz Club has consistently brought the best of contemporary British Jazz to Dorset and Somerset for nearly 20 years; Firstly by the tireless efforts of Peter Hailley, founder of the club, and for the last 4 years under the direction of Iain Houston.
Paul Chousmer has taken the 'chair' for bookings since December 2006.
Most of the artists below have performed at the club in recent years, either leading their own bands, or in collaboration.
The club uses various venues in the Sherborne locality, with regular gigs at the White Hart in Bishops Caundle and The Plume of Feathers in Sherborne, also occasional shows at the village hall in nearby Thornford.
Performances are always on a Saturday evening, starting at 7.30pm, usually twice a month
