GARIOCH JAZZ CLUB PRESENTS

New Town Stompers

A fresh Edinburgh-based quintet bringing uplifting rags, traditional jazz and blues from the golden era of the 1900sโ€“1930s.

Led by the brilliant Mike Summers - an experienced trumpeter and pianist originally from Melbourne, via London, and now based in Central Scotland - the band has quickly built a loyal following with its energetic, feel-good performances and authentic vintage sound. The wonderful Ali Affleck will be joining the band to create a very special six-piece show.

Expect toe-tapping tunes, swinging rhythms, dancers, and a proper night of classic jazz.

What a night at Garioch Jazz Club in Inverurie last Friday! ๐ŸŽท
The Alan Laing Quintet absolutely brought the house down - slick, soulful, funny, and effortlessly brilliant from start to finish. The room was buzzing, the audience loved every second, and the energy was something special.

The drinks were flowing, the raffle had plenty of happy winners, and there was that unmistakable feeling of a proper community night - music, laughter, and great company all rolled into one.

Safe to sayโ€ฆ we definitely want this band back.

But hereโ€™s the thing - clubs like ours only keep going if people show up. So next time, bring a pal (or three), spread the word, and letโ€™s keep live jazz alive and thriving in Aberdeenshire. ๐Ÿ’›
