Thank you so much to John Ellis and the Doncaster Youth Jazz Association for raising money for Favela Brass at their Christmas event at the Earl of Doncaster hotel on Sunday. We really appreciate the generosity of all who kindly contributed to the collection, which came to a total of £342 in the end!


It was wonderful to see the Jazz Association thriving, with band after band of talented youngsters playing to a packed auditorium. Congratulations to all involved and also to Dennis Rollins on his appointment as the new musical director of DYJO.
