The Big Sound Collective: 11th July
The Big Sound Collective is a group of professional and experienced musicians and vocalists based in Kent. Their main goal is to create and perform great music that covers a wide range of musical styles. As an 18–20-piece Big Band ensemble they play much more than the expected Big Band and Jazz music but also genres such as Pop, Soul, Latin, Funk, and more.“We take inspiration from the types of musical ensemble that used to be widely seen and heard on recordings, TV, Radio and Theatre shows backing popular artists of their day from 1950-1980s and beyond.Our name reflects the incredible sound produced by a large musical ensemble as well as our collective approach to achieving something that sounds a bit special and not heard so much these days. We are now into our 3rd year and have steadily been building a loyal following who enjoy a great musical experience. We have a huge amount of collective experience and have a substantial library of great arrangements which helps keep our programmes varied and fresh.”

Previous Events
Yuri Sabatini: Saturday 6th June
Yuri is an Italian Tenor who sings a wide variety of styles and music from operatic Arias to songs from the films and shows. He proves very popular wherever he sings and has an international reputation for excellence. We are very lucky to have him. He has given me an update on his evening’s programme:
“I don’t tend to work from a completely fixed running order, as I like to shape the evening around timing, atmosphere and audience response. However, there are certainly some signature pieces I can include, such as:
· Nessun Dorma
· La donna è mobile
· ’O sole mio
· Bring Him Home
· Maria
· Time to Say Goodbye
Alongside these, I’ll be performing a varied selection of operatic favourites, Italian classics, songs from the shows and cinematic music, and I’m always happy to take requests where possible. The flexibility offered by backing tracks allows the evening to feel spontaneous and personal, which audiences tend to enjoy very much.”
