A BAND regarded as the south west's premier jazz orchestra visits Pavilions Teignmouth next month.

The Dave Hankin Big Band features high-quality musicianship and a diverse repertoire ranging from Glenn Miller to Maynard Ferguson promises a feast for music lovers when it plays the venue on February 28

The band was formed in November 2007, made up from some of the finest musicians in the area. Five of the original members remain to this day.

Along the way, the band have had the pleasure of sharing the stage with some of the biggest names in British jazz, with the likes of Gordon Campbell (trombone), Bruce Adams (trumpet) and Alan Barnes (saxophone) joining them for special concerts. Although retired from acting as band leader, Dave is hard at work arranging new programmes to delight the eagerly awaiting audiences.

Tickets can be booked from the venue’s box office at www.pavilionsteignmouth.org.uk
