We are so pleased to be able to have Jacqui Dankworth, nominated by the late Jean Darke, as our series patron. Jacqui is the UK’s leading jazz singer, and we remember with great pleasure the evenings when she has entertained us so wonderfully alongside singer, songwriter and keyboardist, Charlie Wood. We are thrilled to be able to welcome Jacqui to be with us again in October 2025 She will be performing from her new album ‘Windmills’. Tickets are now on sale.
