A Dinner, A Dance & All That Jazz, saw Upper Bucklebury Memorial Hall transformed into a jazz club for the evening. Complete with Star Cloth and fairy lights.

Organised by Upper Bucklebury's very own Claire Bowden and Jon Lovell, the night was filled with music, food, music, drink and even more music!

The wonderful Kings of Jazz kindly gave up their time for free to help raise money for the Hall's annex, and along with Claire, Jon and three other singers from local drama group KATS (Kennet Amateur Theatrical Society) and with local radio station Kick FM's Rob Crisp on drums, the stage was filled with harmonies and songs from the musicals and swing era.

The night was a huge success, and everyone involved had a tremendous time! The music was top notch and the food, organised by Jane Scholl (Principal, WBBS) and Mo Bowden, went down an absolute treat.

Thanks to all who came along and were willing to part with their money to help raise a whopping £750 towards the annex... There were certainly a few tables who were doing their bit by purchasing more than enough drink! (You know who you are - Thank you)

So from Claire and Jon and all involved - Thank you for making it a wonderful evening and we hope to see you again next time.
