JAZZ on Thursday - 28th September

Tuesday Sep 19: we asked Alice what she had in mind for her concert. She is really busy working on her EP launch on Saturday but offered these words:

My programme for next week is set to include original songs from my debut EP Close To You which I am releasing this Saturday, the 23rd.

My style can be described as a mixture between jazz/soul/pop but I've always had a love for traditional jazz. I will therefore be performing a few jazz standards including...

Sunny Side Of The Street by Jimmy McHugh, which is one of my favourite standards
Crazy He Calls Me by Carl Sigman, a beautiful ballad with descriptive melodies and heartfelt lyrics
Hey Laura by Gregory Porter, a more modern standard but very beautiful
Wave by Antônio Carlos Jobim, a playful bossa nova

LMC

Leatherhead
Methodist
Church

Music on Thursdays' 2017 season takes place in the recital room surroundings of Leatherhead Methodist Church.

LMC has a pleasing acoustic for chamber music. The Church houses a fine 1970s Schiedmayer baby grand piano - a joy to play and to listen to, both as solo instrument and when accompanying singers and instrumentalists. The instrument is maintained by Steinway-trained tuner and technician Tim Hendy.

LMC has level access throughout. It is easy to accommodate a wheelchair - we just whip out a chair and you can
sit with the friends you came with.

Leatherhead Methodist Church & Leatherhead Parking

Location: LMC is close to Leatherhead town centre, in the one-way section of Church Road, but it has only limited disabled parking on-site.

LMC is a 5-7 minute walk from the main bus stops in North Street,
the Church Street car park (behind Waitrose),
and the Swan Centre / Sainsburys' multi-storey car park.

The nearest car park is further along Church Road, behind the Parish Church Hall - a minute's stroll from LMC - unfortunately, it is often full !

The map on the left shows LMC's location on Church Road,
and the nearby car parks. (click on the map to expand it)
