The Parade Jazzband
The Parade Jazzband was formed circa 1990 in the Boathouse pub situated on the main front Parade of beautiful Parkgate on the banks of the river Dee in the Wirral. This is where the band’s name originated.
The main personnel during that time were:-
During our stay at the boathouse we had many top flight musicians guesting with us including:-
Sue Reid sang regularly with the Parade Jazzband for most of 2015
In the summer of 2016 after many years we reluctantly had to vacate the Boathouse and moved along Parkgate Parade to firstly the Red Lion until 1919 and then to the Old Quay.
In March 1920 we moved to the Black Horse in Lower Heswall where we currently play Every Tuesday evening starting at 8.30 pm.
Our current personnel are:-
We play a range of musical genres including:-
New Orleans Jazz, Latin jazz, American and British standards and blues. Our aim is to provide good quality enjoyable jazz in an informal friendly exciting atmosphere as it was originally meant to be played. We have a regular following all of whom will make any newcomers more than welcome.
