On Sunday May 6th, 2012 the London Jazz Society will welcome back this popular group who have been guests of the society many times. They have traveled world-wide playing jazz festivals, cruises, corporate and private functions, jazz societies/clubs, et al for many years.
It will be great to have them back in London on May 6th at the Mocha Shrine Centre. Brian Towers and the Hot Five Jazzmakers actually number six or seven performers on most occasions and sometimes even more. They pride themselves in playing authentic early New Orleans style jazz. This will be an advance ticket sales event and information on where to purchase tickets can be found below.
Our regular monthly concerts are held at the Mocha Shrine Centre through the cooperation of the Shriners of London, Canada. It is located at 468 Colborne Street, just north of Queens Avenue in London, Ontario and there is lots of free parking.
