A Top-Tier Jazz Venue Just Beyond Norfolk — Well Worth the Trip
Towngate Theatre Basildon, The Entrance
The Towngate Theatre Jazz Cafe is yet another newly discovered Jazz Venue. It caught my eye because many of their acts have also performed at Upwell Jazz Club and Peterborough Jazz Club.
The Jazz Events are held monthly on the third Thursday of every month in the Towngate Theatre Cafe. They are mostly lunchtime events which makes the travelling easier for us!
Coming up at the next Towngate Theatre Live Jazz Café in Basildon, our musical guests will be reed supremo, Ewan Bleach.
Join us for a special Towngate LIVE! Jazz Café session with Ewan Bleach — a brilliant
clarinettist and saxophonist (also pianist & singer) who specialises in early jazz,
ragtime, blues and swing. Expect melodic, danceable music drawn from the 1920s–1940s
repertoire alongside Bleach’s own arrangements and compositions.
1pm – 3pm | Free Entry
