Jazz at Hospitalfield 2006 Programme


We are pleased to announce the Spring programme for Jazz at Hospitalfield 2006.

Click on Read More to see the full details.

Thank you to everyone who supported the club in 2005. The great atmosphere of the Hospitalfield audience was highlighted in the November issue of Dundee-based IS Magazine which included an interview with the Alan Steadman and a visit to the Molly Duncan night for the 15th birthday celebrations. For those who didn't catch the article, here is a choice quote:

'15 years, and around 150 bands later, the club is a testament to a good idea that's been well realised - with each event filled to capacity in short order. There's a regular core of attendees who range from as far afield as Edinburgh and Aberdeen, as well as a flow of fresh faces, each with their own experience of the genre... The place was absolutely packed, the atmosphere was extremely relaxed and the music was enjoyable straight out of the box.'
