Start 2026 with a musical treat.
A programme of jazz, blues, and the spectacular Rhapsody in Blue, presented by two virtuoso musicians, Mike Hatchard, piano and Pete Long, clarinet and saxophone.

Rhapsody in Blue is one of the most popular and famous jazz compositions ever written. It is as fresh and exciting today as it was 102 years ago when George Gershwin composed it in a mere five weeks. Mike Hatchard piano and Pete Long clarinet will deliver a thrilling performance.
