Our next gig is to be at the Hunston Golf Club, near Chichester, on May 29th, a Sunday. If you want to hear us in action, then we might be able to get you in.
We had a lot of fun with the audience at the Brighton Festival gig. Over 100 people there, all ages and everyone seemed to enjoy it. Well, we would say that, wouldn't we, but it might, just, be true. Everyone played well, the audience joined in - as you can see. Next Festival gig is to be on June 25th at Bosham Village Hall, part of the Chichester Festivities.
We were at Milland village on the Royal Wedding Day. They had all the village there, over 250 of them. We had a great time, the atmosphere was lively and fun and everyone enjoyed themselves
This coming Saturday we have the Chichester Yacht Club in the evening. It is the most beautiful setting with the Harbour as a backdrop to the band. Lovely place, lovely audience
Then there is the big one, the start of the Festivals, the Brighton Festival on Monday May 9th at 7.30, at the Friends Meeting House. Tickets £9. Send email to jazzsmugglers@yahoo.co.uk

THIS SHOW IS ABOUT THE AUDIENCE
This jazz show is not about us, the players. it is not about you, the promoter, it is not about money. It is about the audience experience, beginning, middle and end.
This was our last gig, and this is the way that the Church in Midhurst promoted it in their own website. .
WE OFFER YOU A JOINT VENTURE: YOU MAKE MONEY
If we put on the Cool Jazz NOSTALGIA show for you, could we split the take do you think? The normal door splits for bands is 70/30 or 80/20 but we could negotiate that. Is it worth talking about? Email us, click here.
This show is a lot of fun. The songs are lovely. The community at Cocking truly enjoyed it - we had an email afterwards from the organiser, which started off "Fantastic........."
THE AUDIENCE TAKES PART.
If you can get some of the ladies and men in the audience to do their hair in the style of the 50's, or wear 50's gear we will dedicate a song to the ones who have really tried. Now who else offers that? Can they remember how to jive?
There is a lot of audience interaction - the audience can choose some of the songs they'd like us to play. Our little trio will play your choice of songs in the interval. Now who else offers that?
If someone in the audience can play jazz, and has brought their instrument then they can join in a chorus or two. Who else offers that?
A POPULAR SHOW - TOP FESTIVALS ARE TAKING IT
This is the show that is being put on at the 200 seat theatre, in the Lanes as part of the Brighton Festival in May. It is also being launched at the Bosham Village Hall in June as part of the Chichester Festivities. We are also booked into the Arundel Festival in August. The closest place to you, where you can preview it is at the Midhurst Parish Church on March 5th.
WE CAN HELP YOU WITH SELLING
If you wish, we can suggest powerful ways of network marketing which you can use at all times to build your audience for any event. These are not widely known but they are easy to use and you will become more powerful in your market. Only professional promoters know of and use these methods.
WEBSITE LISTINGS, TICKET SALES ONLINE
For example, if you are selling tickets to the public then we can put it on several event websites, so that people outside your area can find it, when they are looking for a night out. We can also use our online ticketing service. It costs you nothing. The customers pick up the tickets at the door.
SEE THE PROMOTIONAL HELP WE OFFER
Below is some of our other promotion material available for you. We'll also put it on gig websites for you. We also offer you a document with over a hundred ideas to help you to sell any event.
HAVE WE GOT A DEAL?
So if you advertise it, provide the venue, we'll bring the sound kit, mikes and play the music and run the show. Have we got a deal? We'll split the take with you.
