In order for visitors to the Birmingham Internation Jazz Festival to get a taste of the widest range of jazz, Marketing Birmingham has put together some suggestions for a fantastic evening of entertainment.
On Wednesday 9 July you could start your evening at 6.30pm in the Copthorne Hotel in Paradise Circus, where you can have a drink in the bar and listen to Canada’s Katya Gorrie. Then hop in a cab and hot foot it over to The Duck on Hagley Road where from 7pm Spain’s Django’s Castle takes the stand.
Just a three minute walk to the opposite side of the road and into the Lychee Garden, you might want to sample the delicious cuisine and catch up with the fabulous Becky Brine. Two minutes walk from the Lychee Garden, all the way from the USA, Synthesis Big Band will be performing at the Strathallan Hotel.
When you have had your fill, jump on a bus and make your way back towards the city centre to the Broad Street area where you will find The Living Room; here Suzahn Fiering from the USA will be providing entertainment from 8pm. Almost next door at Walkabout the Australians are in town in the form of Michael McQuaid’s Red Hot Rhythmakers. What an evening!
All but the first show take place in straight line - less than a kilometre in length, with each band playing for 2 hours, so it’s possible to hear them all, have a drink or two and a bite to eat.
