Rosie O’Gradys will be holding its first official jazz night on Tuesday 15 July at 9.30pm.

This is one of many music nights held at the venue in the town’s Station Square and the first band to fill the new jazz slot will be the Julia Wray Quartet, a well established band from Scarborough.

The band will be in every Tuesday night for the first month.

Rosie’s are hoping the jazz night will follow the success of the rock night, which is held every Thursday, the karaoke nights which are every Wednesday and Sunday and the disco nights every Friday and Saturday.

Eventually they plan to have a different genre of music seven days per week.

Julia has spent many years refining her technique, learning from and playing with, some of the top reed players in the business.

She will be joined by Paul Tilley on drums and percussion, who is well known to local audiences and has appeared at legendary jazz club Ronnie Scott’s in his own right, on more than one occasion.

Peter Elsdon is one of the most innovative young jazz pianists in the country and the quartet is completed by bass player Geoff Charmers who, despite sounding like a seasoned pro, still has to carry ID in order to get served at most of the venues.

You can catch the Julia Wray Quartet on Tuesday 15 July at 9.45pm.

Entrance to see the band is free.
