LAWLESS JAZZ moves to Reform

It looks like Steve Bewick, might soon have another jazz club venue in his extensive Rochdale hinterland. Steve gives out gig information on his Hot Biscuits jazz radio mix-cloud broadcasts, so I hope Alan Lawless, who has so helped Rochdale Jazz Club relocate to Chadderton Reform Club, will add Steve´s name, if he hasn´t already, to mine here at Sidetrack s and Detours and Steve Cooke´s at all across the arts at The Rochdale Observer and Rochdale Style to ensure he attracts as large an audience as possible for what already sounds like a hot bed of jazz.

ROCHDALE LIGHT ORCHESTRA presents a Jubilee Concert in a town of music

Graham Marshall founded The Rochdale amateur Light Orchestra in 2008 with the help of some enthusiastic local musicians. They wanted to get together on a regular basis to rehearse and perform music of a generally light-hearted nature from the mediæval to the present times. This they have done, with the obvious exception of lockdown and other necessary quiet times!
