Bromyard’s Carnival of Jazz will see bands playing a broad spectrum of music, from the classic styles of Barbara and All That Jazz to the madcap mayhem of Bob Kerr’s Whoopee Band.

The festival runs from noon tomorrow (Friday) until 6pm on Sunday.

A New Orleans-style marching parade – led by firm Upton favourites Lamarotte – will set off at 11.30am on Saturday and a service will be held on Sunday morning at St Peter’s Church, Bromyard.

Numerous sessions will be held at the Falcon Hotel throughout the duration of the festival and a marquee will also host a number of bands including ‘Sir’ Alan’s Hot Groovers.
