Norfolk Jazz And Blues Ring is headquartered at The Crosswinds Barn rehearsals room, in Marsham, about a ten minute drive north of Norwich International Airport.
If you are a jazz n blues muso, or band, or venue promoter, we would love to hear from you for a FREE supportive e-publicity listing here. The Norfolk Jazz And Blues Ring will, it is hoped, become a useful online listings organization, supporting the genre(s) in the county. If you are a fan of live swing jazz and blues music, we would welcome the chance to e-contact you, with gig guide info, NJBR Newsletters etc.
Following some great 'co operative' live music party gigs here, with members of the Accent Band plus guests in 2008 (see Picture Page), we hope to stage similar 'jazz n blues' style co operative, strictly private invitation only, 'party' nights here in 2009. The jazz and blues content was notably well received! Muso/band enqs welcomed.
For a FREE NJBR listing, which can include you or your band/venue email/url address etc., plus gig guide info and 'newsbits' in your listing, including details of new recordings, just email us at MusosOnline@hotmail.com NJBR FREE e-publicity doesn't cost...it pays 24/7! Den McCarthy.
