What is "jazz in the field"?

This is a unique event for Coity that's taking place on the evening of 7th July 2007!

Jazz?

Yes, big band jazz from the Park Lane Big Band. They play big band music from the Miller/Ellington era right through to contemporary music by the likes of Tom Kubis and Gordon Goodwin. There'll be music to listen to early on and then, once it's got dark, music to dance to too.

And the field?

That's at Longacre Farm in Coity near Bridgend and its all being done properly! There's a free car park on the farm, lighting for after dark, loos and - best of all - a self contained 'auditorium' area for the audience. All you need to bring is your picnic and a blanket to sit on.

OK. What's it in aid of?

It's a charity fund raising event for the Bridgend (Coity) branch of the Riding for the Disabled Association. Like so many charities, it relies entirely on its own fundraising efforts to keep going. We need you and your friends to support this event, please! If you want to do it in real style, why not bring along a gazebo or a garden table and chairs as your base?

Times?

The gates open at 6.00 pm for people who want to either put up gazebos or to bring their table and chairs. The music begins at 8.00 pm and finishes at 11.00 pm.

Tickets?

You can buy them either direct from this site or one of the outlets we've got around Bridgend. There are more details in the tickets section of this site.

What else?

Just one thing: Please note that for health and safety reasons no barbeques (of any size or shape) or naked flames of any sort are permitted at this event.
