JAZZ fans can look forward to a long lazy weekend of live music at the Whitewater Hotel, Newby Bridge, this month.

Timed perfectly to coincide with the post Christmas lull, the bands should strike up on Friday, January 24 - just as the festive afterglow fades - and keep on playing until Sunday night.

Bands include the Savannah Jazz Band, Annie Hawkins New Orleans Legacy and the Zenith Hot Stompers.

The hotel is also offering stop-over packages for those who want to swing, sing, sleep drink and dine.

For further details and tickets contact the suitably named Jazzy Joan on 01229 823544.
