Welcome

If you have arrived at this page it is most likely that you enjoy the uplifting and inspiring music of gypsy jazz. As the page title suggests this is a welcome to anyone who is interested in attending the Beaufort Jazz evening. It also helps answer any questions you may have.

Please also take a look at our Featured Musicians  page where you can find links (in blue text) to the musician’s webpages and get a feel for the type of music we enjoy at Beaufort Jazz.

Audience

If you want to just come and listen to the music we play then its very simple.  We almost always run the evening on the first Monday of the month irrespective of what day that might be.  This will be confirmed on the home page of  this site.

Please check out the location of the Briars Hall Hotel  and aim to arrive for an 8pm start in the Ellerbrook Suite. We will be delighted to see you and will give you a warm welcome. Entry is only £1 per person and the only other cost is the odd raffle ticket which helps us fund the evening.

We always try to start with a featured band which opens the evening in great style. Then other fine  musicians will either play in their groups or in impromptu line-ups. No two evenings are ever the same and there is always something new to enjoy.

Musicians

We try to start setting up from about 7pm onwards, so if you want to play please introduce yourself and see what we are all about.  You can normally practice and jam acoustically in the Orangery and as time  permits  perform a set on the main stage in the Ellerbrook Suite.

Whilst we are mainly a Gypsy Jazz guitar event we do welcome other musicians. If you want to check anything about the evening, please feel free to contact us by leaving a comment below. If you are interested in performing the opening featured spot for the evening, please click here
