PICNIC JAZZ IN ORFORD. Opening Times: 12 midday
to 6pm
Event Contact: 01394 450799. Venue: The Pavilion Orford IP12
2NY
Ticket Cost: £15
Picnic Jazz has again managed to secure the services of an outstanding
young musician to perform at The Pavilion this year. Multi award
winning Liane Carroll has worked with many artists ranging from
Sir Paul McCartney and Gerry Rafferty to Ladysmith Black Mambazo.
She is a regular performer at Ronnie Scott's jazz club in London,
and has several current albums out. In 2005 she won two awards
in the BBC Jazz Awards: Best Vocalist and Best of Jazz. She
is an accomplished pianist who accompanies herself on the piano
with a mix of jazz classics, self penned songs and standards
performed in a jazz style. With Liane following in the footsteps
of Jamie Cullum, Jacqui Dankworth, Gwyneth Herbert, Sarah Moule
and Joanna Eden we are looking forward to another quintessentially
English afternoon of picnics and jazz with copious supplies
of Pimms, beer and tea available in the refreshment tent in
the delightful gardens of The Pavilion in Orford. If you haven’t
had the opportunity to relax and enjoy this event in the past,
treat yourself this year, it is a low key event that attracts
a good number of the audience back year after year and it also
raises funds for local charities.
Bring a picnic and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of Orford with
the very best in jazz.
