The Jive Aces News Dec '09

The Jive Aces News and Gigs ••• December '09 ••• jiveaces.com | Facebook | Youtube | Myspace | Twitter With Russell Brand With Rhydian With David Haye With the Medieaval Baebes Hi there! Berkeley Square Ball The Jive Aces were a smash hit at the world famous Berkeley Square Ball in London. The band entertained such stars as Gwen Stefani; new world heavyweight champ David Haye; Harry Potter actor David Thwellis and the controversial Russell Brand, at the £700 at ticket event raising money for The Princes Trust. The Jive Aces were the final act in a show that also featured performances by Paul Potts and Rhidian, The dance floor was jammed for their set and the band made some famous new fans! The evening has been described by the Sunday Times as "One of the top ten international events of the season". Jazz Meets Jive The first three Jazz Meets Jive shows – with Kenny Ball and the Jive Aces together - have been a big success. There were rave reviews from the audiences at Eastbourne, Doncaster and Potters Bar. And the most recent show at Potters Bar show was totally sold out. There are nine Jazz Meets Jive shows booked for in 2010 and more to follow soon. There's lots more going on, not least the band's packed-out Christmas shows at the Pigalle Club in Piccadilly, but I want to keep this newsletter reasonably brief! So I'd just like to end by wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Derry Jazz Festival '09

Hi Everybody, just a quick note and a bunch of pics from this years'
Derry Jazz Festival.

As usual it was the best ever in many ways. We played for the second
time at the Playtrail with 10 different schools from around Derry
attending and we also played for the first time at St. Patricks' School
which is the biggest primary school in Northern Ireland. It was also the
first time that all 830 kids had been in the same place at the same time
in the school's history.

We also appeared on two front pages in the news, played live on air on
Mark Patterson's show on BBC Foyle and also pegging it to Belfast one
afternoon between gigs to appear live on George Jones' show on U Radio.

We also ended up extending the festival by two days by starting a day
early with the first gig at the Gweedore Bar on Wednesday and the last
on the Monday in the Strand Bar. The reason for that is because we had
to fly back to London on Saturday to perform for the Variety Club
International conference opening night with Tony Hatch doing MC duties
(see the pic).

The photos can also be seen on our Facebook Album at:

See you soon!
