Horsley news

THE weekend begins with live jazz in the style of the Hot Club of Paris with Djangologie playing at the Hearth. The band’s name pays homage to the gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt, but many will remember his long-term friend Stephane Grappelli whose use of the violin in jazz is legendary. As usual there will be a full bar and refreshments will be available in the interval. Enquire at the Hearth Café if you have no tickets as there could be late returns.
