Posted on by

The newly formed Junior and Youth Jazz ensembles in Hexham are up and running following an enthusiastic response by young Jazz players in the region.

Based at Core Music and Led by Dave Hignett the formation of these bands now means that Hexham is becoming the focus for Big Band music in the region with a total of three Big Bands in all.

The Tyne Valley Youth Big Band are busy rehearsing to participate in the Sunderland Big Band Festival for the first time.  They will be playing on Sunday 2nd March at St Peters Campus, University of Sunderland.
