Cosy and inviting, there’s nothing like a spot of jazz to hot up the atmosphere on a cold day.

Friends Music’s Jazz on a Winter’s Evening concert warmly welcomes back Les Rayner (saxophone), who will be bringing a selection of his pupils, playing as The Richard Hale Jazz Ensemble. The group will perform compositions by Dudu Pukwana, Abdullah Ibrahim, Tito Puente and Herbie Hancock, among others.

Admission is free and the concert is to help purchase outdoor musical instruments for Lakeside School.

Friends Meeting House, Handside Lane, Welwyn is on Sunday, January 22 at 6pm. Details: 01707 326109, george.woodcraft@ntlworld.com
