with Nick Millward drums I know John and Marie were delighted and the sale of the football competi'tion and the draw just took off. We managed to find a spot for when Neville started but I am sorry to say after half an hour we repaired to the bar and had to leave. We enjoyed what we had heard but before I left requested my good friend Frank Meeson take a few notes and the result is as follows |

Report on the Bodelwyddan Castle hotel Jazz Festival which took place 9th to 12th march 2007. ![]() The Denise Lawrence Band The festival started on a high note with a three set session on the Friday evening from Richard Leach's 7 Stars of Jazz: Richard (trombone) Ged Stone (trumpet) Chris Pearce (reeds) Mike Graver (piano) Brian Mellor (Guitar & Banjo) Roger Davies (bass) and Roy Dutton (drums). Great stuff from Richard and the boys, high standard as always. Saturday afternoon was a welcome return of the pride of North Wales - Jazzrag Dixieland Jazz Band. This was a great band with an exciting and driving lead trumpet from Stan Williams. Saturday evening began with an hour or so with the Denise Lawrence Band starring that fine reed man John Hallam. Denise hosts these festivals and brings many very good bands to entertain the throng. The main attraction Saturday night was one of Europe's most entertaining and professional bands...The Chicago Teddybears Society Jazz Band. The energy given to the band by their driving trumpet lead makes everyone want to leap up and dance (no mean feat considering the age of most of us). Sunday there was a fabulous and varied lunchtime's entertainment of jazz, blues and gospel music from Denise Lawrence's band. The evening session was from The Yorkshire Stompers and the proceedings were wound up with a final hour from Denise. Good Music, good company, comfortable accommodation and enjoyable food. Add to this copious quantities of good wine and paradise is ours Frank Meeson. All this for around £200. What a bargin ! http://www.warnerbreaks.co.uk Photos Frank Meeson |

March 16th It was my pleasure to visit The Harp this night with the Heart of England on the stand. Two hours of really fine trad jazz! A planned programme well played and presented. Each man can solo so well that I will not mention names. The rhythm section well led by Clive, and driving hard at times must be a treat for the guys who are playing in front. I know I am getting old, and do repeat myself, but do go to see and hear them when they are near you. Thanks to John and Marie they will be back.
