Excitement in the Colyer-Fergusson building has been mounting all week in expectation of tomorrow’s annual roof-raising gig with the University Concert and Big Bands.<\/p>\n

\"AH4A7642\"<\/a>Under the baton of the ever-youthful Ian Swatman,\u00a0both bands\u00a0will\u00a0 be joined by\u00a0trumpeter Mike Lovatt<\/strong>, who includes the accolade of principal trumpet with the Grammy nominated John Wilson Orchestra amongst his many appearances and recordings; it will be a terrific\u00a0experience for the students here at Kent! Ian is particularly excited at the prospect (when not pursuing the varied fortunes of Hull City AFC, of course);\u00a0”This is an amazing coup to bring Mike down to the University and a once in a lifetime opportunity for the students to play with such an accomplished musician!”<\/p>\n

The\u00a0programme includes Ravel’s epic musical crescendo,\u00a0Bolero<\/em>, music by Earth Wind & Fire and a Queen medley, as well\u00a0as\u00a0Big Band classics and vocal numbers featuring our two First Ladies of Jazz at Kent, Ruby Mutlow and Steph Richardson.<\/p>\n
