NEW ORLEANS JAZZ FOr heritage open day

  • The Guildhall, 131 High Street Guildford Surrey GU1 3AA (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

A rare opportunity to step inside Abbott’s Hospital as part of Guildford’s Heritage Open Day with live jazz in the Courtyard from The Alvar Treefrogs !

Born out of an idea to breathe life into music long forgotten, music that made the streets of New Orleans a place to dance and party to in the 20s, 30s and 40s, music that is so hip you’ll want to hop around and dance to it.

The band was born on Alvar Street, New Orleans, where one night, tired and happy, we listened to the Treefrogs singing their song. It then took 8 years to find the right musicians and to get the music just right. The players needed to swing, sing and love a frog based pun. We found them!!! Ever wanted to sing about eggs and butter, about Garbage Men, about your Aunt Tilly? We are your band!!

Entry is free, just come in and listen anytime between 2.15 and 4pm
