About the Event
This very special performance marks the 10th anniversary of the founding of the Jazz Centre UK.
It's a rare chance to experience the full force of the Simon Spillett Big Band in an intimate venue, and will certainly sell out: get your tickets early!
The band plays the repertoire of the great Tubby Hayes Big Band, working from the original charts, and delivers rip-roaring big band excitement in spades...
