Live Performance
Swing and Jazz
Blue Sky Big Band specialises in performing traditional Big Band swing music, popular jazz and even some rock & roll. We consist of over twenty passionate, amateur musicians featuring four sections: saxophones, trumpets, trombones, and a rhythm section.
We are based in Berkshire and play at local venues including Wokingham, Newbury, Reading and Windsor, plus more distant settings such as Brighton. We have taken the band on tour to South Wales, playing at the fringe event of the Brecon Jazz Festival as well as in Brecon Cathedral during the last few years.
The band can be seen regularly performing in public; we have music packed summers playing at bandstands and parties and in indoor venues during the cooler months.
Comprising 4.5 acres in the centre of the town the Public Gardens forms a delightfully pleasant oasis away from the main street bustle, with lawns, sheltering trees, shrubs, flower beds and children's play area (including special needs play equipment.)
The gardens open daily at 7.00am and are closed at 5.00pm from 29th October until 25th March.
The jewel in the crown of the Public Gardens has got to be the Bandstand, and as part of the Town Council's summer entertainment programme it provides the ideal setting for several free musical concerts for the local residents to enjoy.
Alton's new Bandstand was commissioned in 2012 to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty The Queen. The design retains the original base which now supports the new red, white and blue ornate steel structure sporting bosses of the Hampshire Rose, the Alton shield and diamond shaped lattice work.
