I am very fortunate to host and participate in some wonderful musical events which were set up by Ray Lowman and which continue to grow each year.
South Downs Holiday Village near Chichester, 2006 sees our eighth year of music weekends. Last year’s September event was sold out and next year’s events seem to be going the same way!
Our SWING INTO SPRING Weekend - April 28th - May 1st once again has some great cabaret, jazz and swing shows.
Guests include regular - and hugely popular - ELEANOR KEENAN in cabaret with the Phil Phillips Swingtet.
Making their first appearance at South Downs is THE CHARLESTON CHASERS with the best in vintage hot music - and me!
We'll also be presenting THE SINATRA YEARS with myself and Roger Nobes' KINGS OF SWING featuring among others Jim Barry on piano and Sue Greenway on sax.
Jim will also be on hand to present with me a lunchtime cabaret spot.

All this - and full board - for £140.00 per person!!!!
And you can explore the beautiful city of Chichester and the lovely harbours in the area.

Our DIXIELAND TO SWING weekend - September 8th - 11th features (back by popular demand) the BRIAN WHITE and ALAN GRESTY RAGTIMERS (and me!) presenting the music and songs of Muggsy Spanier, Bing and Bob Crosby, Louis Armstrong and others.
Eleanor Keenan and I will be presenting ANYTHING GOES - The Cole Porter Songbook - and more!! with the Jim Barry Quintet and Sue Greenway.
I'm also thrilled to have the JAY CRAIG BIG BAND with lovely vocalist Louise Cookman. South Downs can cater for up to 300 guests for each weekend. At the time of writing (mid January) numbers booked for both are approaching 200!

I should point out that both South Downs events are adults only.
