Wanted: Gigs in the Ipswich area!

Posted on 1st May, 2010 by Skweek

We're looking for a venue in the Ipswich area where we can play a monthly gig to promote jazz and also to try and raise the profile of the band in Ipswich. If you are interested, please let us know via email. Also please bear in mind that we are a 20 piece big band, so you need space to fit us in!
