| Jazz is Alive and Kicking in Hertfordshire Jazz was alive and kicking at premier venues in Hertfordshire for Father's Day on the 20th of June. 8 jazz players who regularly play at top jazz venues, including Ronnie Scott's and Pizza in the Park and on media outlets like BBC 2 and channel 4, played at events across east Hertfordshire, helping to prove that jazz is still alive and well in the Home counties. At Hanbury Manor (just outside Ware), guests were treated to a set by 3 of NSN productions leading artists; Rob (bass), Mark (keys) and Jasper (percussion). NSN productions provides musicians for a weekly residency at Hanbury Manor; but the day felt much more like a Father's day celebration. The 3 artists' act was enthusiastically received, with jazz versions of "Happy Birthday" being performed five times for celebrations. The trio are performing together again at Hanbury on the 18th of July. The ornate Brocket Hall golf club (Welwyn Garden City) also got into the spirit of the occasion by playing host to a fathers day celebration for its members and their families. The music was provided by Amy (saxophone) and Neil (guitar) who performed outside, overlooking the lake. To top off a special day for NSN productions another trio were asked to perform for the famous Rose Weekend, held at Hatfield House. The Trio included Emma (vocals), Ian (bass) and Mark (Keys) and performed songs such as Moondance. The performance entranced and captivated the audience, who were even treated to a special 45 minute long set from the Romantic Tenor AKA Neil Simon. The Music for all three events was organized and arranged by NSN productions, a leading company in providing live music for events.
