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.
Cheers,
Peter
