The event will take place in the beautiful gardens of the Minories gallery in Colchester hosted by the adjacent Commons Café. In case of poor weather, the event will move inside the café.

Our quintet features these fine musicians: Frank Sebastian (sax), Ian Buzer (trumpet), Sam Plackett (guitar), Simon Wood (double bass), and Elmer van der Hoek (drums). We will be performing a variety of jazz tunes from the '50s to the '70s. From 6:30 PM, the stage will welcome other jazz musicians, including singers, to join in.

Tickets are £8, with concessions at £5 for students and those under 18. Kids under 5 enter for free. Pre-bookable via Goodshow or at the café and on the door.

The café will offer a selection of coffee, tea, and snacks, including cakes, as well as a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.

Additionally, Syrian food will be available from 5 PM only via pre-order: call Marvan on 07908 495659, payment with cash only. Enjoy a large mixed platter (V) for 2 people for £25, featuring hummus, baba ghanoush (V), tabbouleh, olive salad, halloumi cheese salad, stuffed vine leaves, and falafels. You can also have Kubba or Sambusek, both with vegetables each for £2.50.

We look forward to providing you with a delightful culinary musical afternoon!
