Bristol Community Big Band Christmas Special at Bristol Old Vic
FREE entry

A gig held at Bristol Old Vic on Wednesday 17th December. The event starts at 19:00.


After a raucous evening of swing this summer, Bristol Community Big Band returns by popular demand for this FREE Christmas swing special!

Expect all the hits from the golden era of swing, plus some festive jazz favourites to ring in the Christmas celebrations.

Made up of non-professional musicians from across Bristol and the South West, BCBB is unofficially (but very probably) the biggest big band in Bristol.

Led by local trumpet legend, Jonny Bruce, come along for a FREE evening of high-energy big band music in Bristol Old Vic's beautiful Foyer space.

Plus, make sure to bring your dancing shoes - Bonny Chung will be running FREE dance sessions in Cooper's Hall from 7-9pm.

FREE dance sessions: 7-9pm
FREE live big band music: 9-11pm
Entry: FREE
