Following September's Community Jazz Festival, Broughton St Mary's Parish Church is beginning to establish itself as a key music venue in the city.
On 23 October, Jazz Vehicle – a touring band from Lincoln – will play for free, hoping to enjoy the great acoustics in Bellevue Crescent and tap into an appreciative and knowledgable local audience.
Jazz Vehicle comprises young people aged 14–18, and have been running now for 25 years under the guidance of musical director John Crouch. The repertoire is apparently very wide, embracing anything 'from Big Band to some very funky tracks'.
In 2008 they were put forward to the Royal Albert Hall by Music for Youth as winners of the Best Youth Jazz Band, and they have been selected to play in the 2010 Schools Prom taking place in the Royal Albert Hall in November.
Other gigs on their Scottish tour include Heriot Watt University and the Great Hall at Edinburgh Castle.
Jazz Vehicle play at 7:30pm on Saturday 23 October.
