March 29th sees the launch of a new regional monthly Jazz Club in Spalding, attracting some of the top names in the jazz world to East Anglia. Award-winning vocalist Jacqui Dankworth will appear with her quartet on the opening night with internationally acclaimed musicians Dave O’Higgins, Mark Nightingale, James Taylor Quartet, Claire Martin, Bruce Adams, Henri Bok, the National Youth Jazz Orchestra and Pete Churchill set to perform later in the year.
The Club is organized by FP Music, a Spalding-based music agency run by Dave Foster and Neil Pennock, both of whom are jazz musicians working in London and across the UK. ‘We’ve been looking to set up a Jazz Club in the area for several months and at the start of this year we secured a partnership with the South Holland Centre to hold the monthly events. We are excited to be able to bring some outstanding musicians to the area and hope to attract audiences from across the region.’
Membership of the Jazz Club is available for an annual fee of £15 which provides a 10% reduction on all Spalding Jazz Club events, priority booking and a monthly newsletter.

"At last a follow up to Janette Mason's sparkling debut as leader. Alien Left Hand ....was well worth the wait…” Production **** Performance**** -- BBC Music Magazine
“…an album fizzing with fresh ideas and delights, an exhilarating musical journey .. with brilliantly original writing and inspired playing…” -- Helen Mayhew
"Every track from the rhythmic ‘NY Cab Ride’ and restless ‘4 Wheel Drive’ to the brooding ‘Mae’s Song’ has a terrific hook but it’s the way Mason switches tempo and moods that makes ALH great fun. " -- Diva Magazine
