@splashpointjazz March 2025 News Splash Hello Spring Chickens! Cast your minds back to the 15th of February 1971, when the UK went decimal. Remember that? No longer 12 pennies in a shilling, and 20 shillings in a pound – suddenly everything was in tens and so much easier (as a result most of us were […] The post @splashpointjazz March 2025 News Splash: Jazz Club 10th Anniv! appeared first on Splash Point Music ..read more

Aah, February, the month of love…❤️ (and Annette’s snowdrops)Now, you might think the whole Valentine’s Day phenomenon was manufactured solely in order to increase sales of cards, flowers and chocolates – and there’s no doubt it does fuel a retail boom in just about the dullest month of the year. Let’s just think about that most […] The post @splashpointjazz February 2025 News Splash appeared first on Splash Point Music ..read more

Hello, and welcome to  2025!! And so another New Year storms in at Splash Point (Seaford), all shiny and full of promise! New Year’s Day has had some VERY BIG moments in the past: *  President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, thereby freeing all slaves in Confederate-held territory.  *  The Euro […] The post @splashpointjazz January 2025 News Splash appeared first on Splash Point Music ..read more

Well here we are then, wrapping up 2024 and, thanks to all of you, it’s been another successful year for Splash Point Jazz.

Remember, remember the 5th of November!Well you can forget that because there’s nothing on at either of our jazz clubs on the 5th (not that we’re narcissistic or anything) – though Neal will be playing at Raffles as usual. There are plenty of other dates to remember and as an aide memoire (we pride ourselves on our linguistic abilities here…) […] The post @splashpointjazz November 2024 News Splash appeared first on Splash Point Music ..read more

Seaford Bay seen from above Splash Point Hello jazz friends (or should that be fiends?). According to Dean Martin’s 1959 hit, ‘It’s June in January’, but if this weather keeps up 2024 will feel more like January in June… Hands up if you put your heating on at least once since the last SPJC newsletter?

So here we go, sliding gently into October, the 10th month of 2024.Which is odd, because you’d think (calling it October) it would be the 8th month: octet, octopus, octagon etc. And then there’s December, which ought to be the 10th month (decimal…) and is the 12th! What is going on? Something to do with our old […] The post @splashpointjazz October 2024 News Splash appeared first on Splash Point Music ..read more

The photo above shows where we’re playing the ELO (Ella, Louis & Oscar) Show in Germany this month! It hardly seems possible that it’s already September! Season of ‘mists and mellow fruitfulness’ as Keats would have it, and less poetically, Harvest Festival as the rest of us will no doubt remember from our schooldays. But did […] The post @splashpointjazz September 2024 News Splash appeared first on Splash Point Music ..read more

Out in the garden the air is rich with the scent of roses and sweet peas, and the smell of barbecues… (and so will your washing be if you don’t bring it in quick-smart). It’s a marvellous time of year: Wimbledon is here, England are still in the Euros (just…) and the Love Supreme Festival is about to kick-off. Everyone seems to have moved into their outdoor agenda: drinks on the patio, entert ..read more

Seaford Bay seen from above Splash Point Hello jazz friends (or should that be fiends?) According to Dean Martin’s 1959 hit ‘It’s June in January’, but if this weather keeps up 2024 will feel more like January in June… Hands up if you put your heating on at least once since the last SPJC newsletter? Don’t blame you… However, the Met Office assure us that temperatures are going up so maybe summer is here, just hiding behind an umbrella, a bit shy about showing itself.
