John Minnion & The Camelia Jazz Band
Relaxed old Style New Orleans music from a band based in South Wales. The Camelia Jazz Band was launched at the end of the 1990's to play old style New Orleans Jazz in the Cardiff, Newport and Bristol area.
Originally formed in South Wales at the end of the 1990's to play relaxed old style New Orleans jazz, the Carmelia Jazz Band has played in venues in Cardiff, Newport , Bristol and the Bude Jazz Festival. It was relaunched in 2004 with Norman Thatcher on trombone, John Wurr on reeds and John Minnion on cornet, with a rhythm section comprising Clarence Nugent on drums, Mike Gale on bass and Sarah Thatcher on banjo.
Dennis Armstrong's Great Western Jazz Band
Traditional jazz band playing in the style of Louis Armstrong (no relation!) and King Oliver.
Norman Thatchers Hula Band
The unique sound of New Orleans Hula is mainly due to the unusual instrumentation - the all-brass front line of Norman and Tom, sharing the melody and harmonising equally, is complimented by the full, rhythmic feel of the guitar, banjo and bass in the rhythm section creating an overall authentic, vintage sound. The style of music we play is not easy to describe and doesn't fit neatly into a specific category of jazz; each tune is significantly governed by which instrument Sam is playing at the time - when he plays the slide guitar it adds either an Hawaiian flavour or a bluesy sound and similarly when he plays the mandolin or 5-string banjo it gives it a country/folky feel.
Bob Reynolds New Society Jazz Band
The band has its roots in playing New Orleans Jazz with a happy sound suitable for all occasions and play a wide repertoire of authentic jazz, blues, and melodies. It is led by local trombone player Bob Reynolds, together with west country musicians who are bound together by a common love and enjoyment of the music they play.
Tim Newman's Celebration Jazz Band
The Band was formed in 1983 and the following year they made a successful tour of Spain for the Association of Cultural Activities playing at the third International Jazz Festival at Alcala, Madrid. They returned to Spain in 85,86,89 and 2001 and broadcast for both Radio Galicia and Television Galicia.
The bands repertoire relies on popular songs of yesteryear, rags, marches and spirituals with composers such as Handy, Joplin, Morton, Armstrong and Oliver much in evidence. Current members of the Band are Tim Newman, Roger White,(Founder members) Pete Dine (18 years). Clive Johnson (5years), Clarence Nugent, Gerry Bath and Pete Middleton
