Jazz at Nag's Head

Anyone around Abingdon tomorrow afternoon Bank Holiday Monday 28 May might want to go along to Nag's Head Island for an hour of jazz in the open air from 4pm on. It's on the very pleasant grassed area just beyond the boatyard, and the access is by foot through the gate from Abingdon Bridge to the boatyard. The concert is in support of COG (Community in the Old Gaol), a voluntary group that is campaigning for community facilities to be available in thre building. We will be there from COG to collect signatures for our petition to have some voice in the development. Bids have been received by the Vale Couincil from developers but so far we don't from whom or for what.

There is a great view of the Old Gaol and the river from the island.

The jazz trio is Chris Brown - guitar, Aidan Thorne - bass, Darren Hasson-Davis - drums.

Hope to see you there - fingers crossed for reasonable weather!
