Jazz at the Tithe Barn, Sunday 18th June

Come along to the wonderful Tithe Barn on Sunday 18th June and listen to the sounds of Doctor Jazz, a great local 7-piece jazz ensemble plus Lyn Falvey, their fabulous lead singer. The event will be held in the field behind the barn. Bring a picnic, drinks, chairs or rugs and enjoy what we’re sure will be a great sing-along occasion. The doors open at 12.30 and Doctor Jazz will start playing at 14.00. We’ll be holding a super raffle during the interval and the afternoon will end shortly after 16.00.

The main style of the band is commonly described as traditional, but they play a mixture of jolly jazz styles – New Orleans, Dixieland, and Swing, together with a repertoire that includes jazz classics, older popular songs jazzed up and a few from the American song book. The band have over 40 years of experience playing around North Kent.

Tickets will go on sale on 1^st May from Kent Loves…, 11 High Street Lenham and will be priced at £15 for adults, with no charge for under 16s. Tickets are advance purchase only and will be limited. There will be some parking available at the barn, however there is also parking in and around the square. All profits from the event will go towards our work to preserve and protect our Grade 1 listed church building, ensuring that it continues to stand as a beautiful focal point in the village.
