The second Kirker Jazz Festival will be held at Alex Polizzi’s stylish hotel in the picturesque and historic village of Alfriston, and stars Gwilym Simcock.
Gwilym will be hosting our exclusive and intimate jazz festival with concerts in the beautiful Hope Chapel in Alfriston, in the company of three of modern jazz’s brightest stars: drummer Martin France, bassist Laurence Cottle and harmonica player Hermine Deurloo. Each contrasting set will offer something original and irresistible, beginning with a solo piano concert performed by our host, followed by jazz trio and, to finish, the beguiling combination of harmonica and piano.
This is a three day event with dinners and concerts over the period.
The festival guide is organist Oliver Condy, former editor of BBC Music Magazine
