Fleece Jazz at Kersey Mill©

General Information about "Fleece Jazz at Kersey Mill"

The very best of modern jazz every Friday at 8.30pm (doors open 6.00pm).

While we will miss the special intimate atmosphere of the upstairs room of the Fleece, the Kersey Mill is a delightful venue. The Mill serves food before gigs. You can look at the most recent menu.
Please call 01473 820300 to book. Food will be available from about 6.00 pm, needs to be reserved before 5pm on the previous day. This number is not for buying tickets, though.

We will have more information for you as we learn our new venue. In the meantime, here is some information about Kersey Mill, including menu information.

Would you like to know about


Seating at the Club

We should have sufficient seating for all who purchase tickets. We do note that some people prefer to stand.

Even so, please note that your ticket covers admission only and does not guarantee a seat except in the case of disabled patrons who must inform us when booking.

If you have a disability, or need to be seated for health reasons, please let us know when you book. We will make arrangements. You might also look at our accessability information.

At The Mill, seating and queuing will not be a problem. There should be plenty of seats. Nevertheless, specific seating is not reserved.


Musicians and 'Deps'

The lineups listed in the brochure and this website are those given to us by the leader of the group, and are as accurate as we can make them. The music business being what it is, changes happen, and sometimes quite late. We have been very lucky, as the substitutions made by the groups have been quite wonderful. Nevertheless, the situation is not one we can control.

The Club and its Committee

Jazz at the Fleece is an association of people interested in jazz. They volunteer their time, and draw no funds from the club. The club is non-profit (you better believe it), and receives no subsidies from any person or organization. In other words, the people who come to listen to some of the best jazz available in the country, pay for the musicians and the running costs. We do try to keep the latter to a minimum.

The Web Site

Our site, ( http://www.fleecejazzatkerseymill.org.uk, as you well know or you would not be here) is maintained by Dave Lyons. We try to keep it simple, up to date, and accessible to people with disabilities. If you have any comments or suggestions about it, Dave would be very glad to hear them.

We are working to improve the visibility of the navigation bar, which requires a standard W3C facility. As far as we can tell, all browsers will do this, except Internet Explorer up to version 6. This is why we have place a "best viewed" note on the index page navigation bar. It appears that Internet Explorer 7 more closely adheres to standards. It will certainly run this site.

The site has in the past been hosted by the Department of Computer Science at the University of Essex. The club was very grateful to the Department for this facility. It still provides the daily automatic regeneration of the site.
