A very nice concert by a group of enthusiasts with a real jazz spirit! The welcome is very friendly and warm in a Presbyterian church with a slightly outdated charm. An experience to recommend!

We booked using our go pass - we were advised to come an hour early, so glad we didn’t as there weren’t many for the Thursday night. We struggled to appreciate the experimental vibe, so can’t recommend. The band came out at 7.10 pm so not sure why we were advised to arrive at 6 - hoping it was a blip as the church is a fantastic venue.
The jazz performance just spectacular. All the musicians were wonderful. Being in jna church, the environment was intimate and close.
Hi, Thank you very much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to know that you enjoyed the jazz performance so much. It is an honor to have such talented musicians who manage to create that special magic in every performance. We are especially pleased that you appreciated the intimate and close atmosphere that the church setting offers. We believe that this unique space adds a special dimension to the musical experience, creating that special connection between the artists and the audience. We hope to have you back soon at future performances. Thank you for being a part of our musical community! Best regards.
Beautiful experience, super recommended. The organizers are very kind and the show was fantastic.
