Claverley’s All Saints Church is staging a ‘Mellow Jazz and More’ concert on Saturday 2 September at 7.30pm. The tunes will be performed by the Lisa Carter Quintet, who appeared at the church back in May.
Lisa has been a professional singer for many years, appearing in concerts and shows around the world. She’s supported by guitarist Brian Griffiths from Kingswinford and Bridgnorth drummer Ian Wellings, and together the ensemble will perform mellow jazz classics, light swing numbers, Latin tunes and well-loved standards – perfect for a late summer evening. There will be a bar and entry is free with no need to book, though donations are gratefully received. Early arrival is recommended as seating is limited.
