JAZZ ON THE GREEN, BRENT KNOLL

8pm SATURDAY 19th JULY 2008

 

Chris Pearce's Frenchman Street Jazz Band will be on stage at 8 pm on Saturday 19th July, either on the Brent Knoll Village Green or, if the weather is inclement, in the Parish Hall.

 The band plays New Orleans style Jazz and is in fact named after a famous street in The Crescent City.

 CHRIS PEARCE, clarinet and saxophones leads the band, with ALAN BATEMAN, trumpet and saxophones and PAUL MUNNERY, trombone completing the front line.

 The rhythm section comprises RACHEL HAYWARD, guitar and banjo,        TONY SHARP, double bass and GRAHAM SMITH, drums.

 This is the 12th Annual Jazz on the Green and we are looking forward to another great evening’s entertainment, under the stars (or in the Hall if it's wet!!!).

 This event is always well attended so get your tickets early from Brent Knoll Post Office or Ring 01278 760 986 or 760 760.

 Performance starts at 8pm, but you are advised to get there well in time, to make sure you get a good seat (you can bring your own chairs) and also to sample the local brews on offer, before the rush!  See you on the Green at Brent Knoll.   Tickets are £7.50 adults and £ 4.00 kids under 14.

 There's a licensed bar, serving local brews, a BBQ and Raffle.

Red Cow Quiz Nights 2007 - 2008

 

Now we are all back from our summer holidays, it must be time to start planning your winter evening entertainment at the Red Cow.

Last year’s quizzes were again very successful and helped raise funds for the Parish Hall and may have even helped raise a few IQ’s not to mention a few eyebrows!

 

These evenings are a lovely way to finish off the weekend, with a sociable get together over a glass or two.  This year we have a variety of Quiz Masters lined up so there is bound to be something for everyone’s taste.

 

You can come along in teams of up to 5 members and you answer as a team (so no one is put “on the spot”).  Come with friends or family, it still only costs £ 2 per person.  Prizes are awarded per round to the winning teams (£3-1st and £1-2nd); there is often a Bottle of Wine to win as well.

 

The Quiz Nights run throughout the winter months every Sunday in the Red Cow Skittle Alley at 8pm.
