Happy New Year to you all,

This month it’s the Dearne Big Band and Singers led by Loraine Cawood. Friday 16th Jan, 8pm start, £7.50 on the door at Darfield Community Centre S73 9AL.

Myself and many others in the village (and more than one or two in full time music jobs) grew up and got our start in performing music through this band. The Dearne Big Band is the main fund raiser for the Barnsley Youth Jazz Association which provides a route for local kids and young adults to start playing an instrument and join a band where this opportunity isn’t available to them through other routes. None of the adults in the Big Band take a fee, ever. The money paid to the Dearne Big Band goes back into the jazz association.

So, by supporting the concert on 16 January you are supporting local kids to get into music. This music is of course swing and jazz in the hope that the music we all love and enjoy can continue into the future whilst giving the kids opportunity to learn an instrument and, as we did, some life skills along the way. That might sound a little like emotional bribery and to a degree it is; music (and the arts) are now so diluted and under-funded that it’s vital that other routes exist.
