PROJECT 5 The Grey Lady, Tunbridge Wells, 2nd June An excellent four-piece funk and jazz outfit and another ‘perfect’ choice of band for this type of venue. The band are: Norbert Marjolin on lead vocals, Laurence Lock on guitar, Mark Gorringe on keyboards and Garry Buckner on drums. Their set list comprises the sounds of Aretha Franklin, Van Morrison, Stevie Wonder, Terence Trent Derby and, of course, many more. Anything that you can move your body to, they can play it.

THE ZOMBIES De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill-on-Sea, 6th June Anyone who grew up in the 70s, as I did, will no doubt remember Colin Blunstone and Rod Argent of the band Argent. Many people at around that time (me included), did not realise that these two musicians were founding members of the Zombies some 10 years earlier – Rod and Colin formed the band in 1961 to be exact. Although they disbanded in 1969, the two main original surviving members are back and touring again.
• Call the venue on 01424 229111. Jazz on The Pantiles 2018
Now in its 21st year, Jazz on The Pantiles returns to the historic heart of Tunbridge Wells every Thursday, from 7pm, until 27th September. The event has grown to become a hugely popular weekly music fixture famed for showcasing some of the best jazz bands in the area, drawing up to 3,000 guests at each event and attracting more than 45,000 people to Tunbridge Wells – and is the perfect place to spend a summer’s evening alfresco! • Visit

PALOMA FAITH Bedgebury Pinetum, 15th June Often reported to be retro and eccentric, Paloma was born in Hackney, East London to an English mother and Spanish father. While at college she was asked to join a band by her manager at the pub where she worked. At one of the performances an A&R man from Epic records scouted Paloma. She famously stormed out of the first audition when the manager of the label refused to turn his phone off, she turned down an opportunity to join Amy Winehouse’s band and went on to compose her own songs. Her debut single came in 2009 with Stone Cold Sober, which reached 17 in the UK charts. • Call the venue on 01580 879820.
