We are really excited that we are able to run the September Jazz weekend 24-26 September 2021.
The tutors will be Josh, Nick and Ruth. We’re thrilled to be able to get together and make music together again. Booking is through the Grafham Water Centre on 01480 810521.
We’re really looking forward to seeing everyone again.
A very Happy New Year to everyone! We are starting the new year with some new and exciting updates to the Jazz Course at Grafham Water.
After two decades running Jazz at Grafham, Martin is handing over the Course Director role to Josh Kemp. Martin will still be there, playing and mentoring.
