Bristol Community Big Band
Made up of non-professional musicians from across Bristol and the South West, BCBB is unofficially (but very probably) the biggest big band in Bristol! Expect all the hits from the golden era of swing, from Duke Ellington to Dizzy Gillespie.
The ZuZu Men
A unique, propane driven live band that never disappoints, The ZuZu Men boast a list of your favourite songs ranging from the ’30s to the present day.
Free Solo Jazz Dance Classes
Join Bonny Chung for free Solo Jazz Dance Classes in Coopers’ Hall. Rooted in traditional jazz steps and influenced by tap, vernacular movement, and sequences from the 1920s to 1940s, solo jazz emphasies rhythm, syncopation, musicality, and embracing your own unique personal style.
