Grafham Water Centre is an ideal place to spend a weekend starting or following a hobby. The majority of the rooms where the courses are conducted overlook the picturesque reservoir, with beautiful views. The Centre provides accommodation, excellent food and refreshments for all weekend courses.
JAZZ WEEKEND
If you like Jazz and want to spend a weekend learning and playing music with other musicians, then the Grafham Water Jazz Course is for you. The course is renowned for its relaxed, informal atmosphere and beautiful setting overlooking Grafham Water, situated a few miles from Huntingdon and the A1.
There are two weekend courses every year, usually the last weekend in January, and late September. Playing in small ensembles, we cover a range of styles from mainstream to contemporary, drawing on both the jazz tradition and a range of influences from around the world such as Township and Salsa.
With late night jam sessions, good food and a relaxed atmosphere, Grafham Jazz Course is waiting for you to discover it.
You can read more about the course on the Grafham Jazz website.
