Painshill Afternoon Jazz and Picnic
This relaxing Sunday afternoon event will take place in the Amphitheatre, a large oval lawn in the centre
of the Park cocooned all round by banks of trees. Musical entertainment will be provided by the Sarah
Jane Eveleigh Jazz Quartet who have built a strong reputation in and around the south east over the
past few years with their exciting and varied repertoire and captivating performances. Led by Sarah Jane
Eveleigh, a passionate vocalist and storyteller with a mastery of jazz timing, the band features a talented
line-up including dynamic jazz pianist Andy Walls, accomplished double bass player Mike Bennett and
respected drummer Andrew Eveleigh. They will entertain with array of jazz and Latin standards as well
as reworkings of some contemporary classics.
They will play two 60 minute sets, the first from 1.00pm – 2.00pm and the second from 3.00pm – 4.00pm
with an hour’s break during which a leisurely picnic and convivial conversation can be enjoyed.
Bring your own chairs and picnic. In the unlikely event that you run out of liquid refreshment, a prosecco
van and mobile bar will be on hand to provide emergency back-up supplies!
It is a bit of a walk from the entrance to the amphitheatre so we have obtained exclusive use of a shuttle
buggy to ferry all members not wishing to proceed on foot.
