Instrumental Groups
These will be tutored by Andy Hague who runs workshops in Bristol and is a trumpeter and drummer, and Ray Batson from Luton who is a long time CLJazz tutor.
The workshop will look at jazz standards, arrangements and originals and advice will be given on delivery and improvisation. Some time will be spent on techniques for backing vocalists.
Vocal Group
This will be tutored by Brigitte Beraha who is a fantastic singer and has tutored on several very successful Jazz Weekend for CLJazz at Caer Llan.
On Saturday evening there will be a performance at Bar de Musique de Hunstile followed by jam sessions
CLJazz aims to keep its courses as cheap as possible. We work on an expenses only basis, paying tutors and accommodation fees, and a very small amount goes into the CLJazz bank account to cover contingencies.
We have recently had some instances of last minute cancellations and stopped cheques when we have been committed to paying tutors and course expenses and I feel it is now necessary to install some terms and conditions as follows:
A deposit secures a place on the course or workshop and is only refundable if a cancellation is made within two weeks of the course commencing.
All deposits will be returned in the event of a course or workshop being cancelled.
The balance is payable on attendance at the course.
If a participant needs to leave, for any reason, before the course has been completed no refunds can be made since we have already committed to pay tutors and residence owners.
Every effort is made to provide the tutors and schedule as advertised but it may be necessary to substitute tutors in exceptional circumstances (such as illness) and vary the schedule according to the demands of the course/workshop when it is running.
No responsibility can be taken for instruments and equipment and participants are advised to mark all equipment with name and contact details to that it can be returned if (when) left behind!
