Thanks to Susan for reminding readers about this upcoming charity event. Ed
Ventnor Rotary and St Catherine’s will be holding the second Summertime Blues & Jazz Picnic this Summer Bank Holiday at East Dene, Bonchurch on Sunday 24th August 2014.
This year’s impressive line up includes New York based jazz pianist Keith Ingham and rhythm and blues singer Aydenne Simone.
Keith is making a special trip to the Island to perform at the event. Throughout his long career he has worked with many jazz legends including Benny Goodman and Peggy Lee. He will be teaming up with London-based Aydenne and traditional jazz specialists and Island favourites The Unity Stompers.
Something for everyone
Keith Pratley, President of Ventnor Rotary Club, said,
“We believe we have put together a fantastic line-up for the event and there will be something for everyone to enjoy from rhythm and blues to trad jazz. Last year’s event was a great success and we hope people turnout again to support this charity event.”
