Set up less than two years ago, the band has gone from strength to strength and now has an established presence on the jazz scene in Cambridge. A boundless enthusiasm for promoting the band, fresh innovatory ideas and a desire to continue striving for greater musical excellence are essential requirements for the role.</p> <p>If you wish to nominate an unusual configuration of candidates, e.g. two co-directors, or a two-role leadership consisting of both an MD and President, this may be possible but only after approval by the committee. Please email pn252 if you wish to discuss this further. The director does not need to be a current member of the band.</p> <p>***Nominations must be submitted to pn252 by 28/02/2010. All nominations will remain confidential.***</p> <p>The election will be held at an EGM called for this purpose on 07/03/2010 (9.00pm - 10.30pm) and may include hustings. Once elected the director's term will begin at the end of May Week 2010. Easter term will act as a hand-over period where the old director will be able to share responsibilities with their elected successor.</p> <p>I hope to hear from you soon.</p> <p>Peter Nickalls<br /> Churchill Jazz Band director<br /> <a href="http://www.churchilljazzband.com" rel="nofollow">www.churchilljazzband.com</a> </p> http://www.cammuso.org.uk/forums/topic/292#post-304 Thu, 01 Oct 2009 10:02:00 +0000 sc486 304@http://www.cammuso.org.uk/forums/ <p>do you play accordion (or related instrument)? do you like jazz?<br /> please get in touch! sc486 @ cam<br /> thank you<br /> sergio<br /> <a href="http://www.jazbridge.co.uk" rel="nofollow">www.jazbridge.co.uk</a> </p> http://www.cammuso.org.uk/forums/topic/190#post-200 Thu, 13 Nov 2008 15:40:29 +0000 ts451 200@http://www.cammuso.org.uk/forums/ <p>Hi guys!</p> <p>Am new in the area and looking for a few people to jam with!

HoJO is the Homerton based big band, with members from a wide spread of colleges, that rehearses at Homerton once a week on a Sunday. Although newer less well known than Selwyn Jazz or Fitz Swing, HoJO has rapidly grown in strength over the past two years and gradually begun to take a slice of the Cambridge musical pie. Last year gigs included Newnham and Sidney bar, and the year cumlinated in a tour to the Edinburgh fringe. We hope to replicate and build on all this success in the coming year. </p> http://www.cammuso.org.uk/forums/topic/135#post-143 Wed, 21 May 2008 08:07:45 +0000 lmo23 143@http://www.cammuso.org.uk/forums/ <p>The Cambridge Lindy Hoppers are looking for small groups of<br /> musicians to play for social dancing at our weekly jazz club 'The<br /> Speakeasy'.
