"I'd like to say how much my wife and I enjoyed the Jazz Cafe. Can't wait for the next one..."

"'we really enjoyed playing at Seven and look forward to coming back again soon! Gracias La Charanga del Norte
"We all had an amazing time and everyone I spoke to said how great an afternoon they had, not just the music but the whole vibe of Seven Jazz on a Sunday afternoon, a massive thanks to you an your team for putting on and organising such a great afternoon for people" - James Hamilton
"The vibes were good" - Kathy Dyson and Deidre Cartwright
"Just a line to say that the Sunday concerts are an absolute gem! Louise Parker - it's no surprise that Humph took her under his wing. I think she's world class and her group were hot. I hope you get them back next year .... but it'll probably cost you more! Gary Boyle is another world class musician - today's gig was stirring. Hard to believe it was only their second gig. Seven Jazz - two world class artists within the space of a fortnight. All for £4 each - what more can you say? Amazing!! Seven Jazz are at the centre of a flourishing jazz community in and around Leeds. Thanks again to everyone involved" Barry
"I've seen some really talented musicians over the past year- keep it up" - Ray
"The Arts Centre and Jazz is a great addition to Chapel Allerton" - Maria
"Lovely venue! Love the excellent jazz and the friendly atmosphere. Always feel welcome. You've created something very special" - Liz.
"Great venue. Two second hand CD's for £5 was great!" - Robert
"Enjoy the jam sessions - they let people join in and give a nice variety"- Alison
"Good venue, good music, good food" - Pat and Steve
"What a wang dang doodle gig that was yesterday afternoon - based on previous knowledge, recommendation of others etc, I was expecting a knock-out do but I thought they surpassed all expectations. The only ever so tincy wincy downside was that I did not grab a front-row spot to actually watch James Maddren play - I gather from Tom Gallagher that he was dragging harmonics off his cymbals with his thumb nails and quite how do you brush so brilliantly and dynamically with your sticks under one arm ?? I mean there's not enough fat on him against which to lodge them whilst drumming takes place so it's all musculo-skeletal - it's all bloody impressive. Keep up this good work" - Martin
"Kit Downes . . . WOW . . . star rating? . . . er, . . . off the scale, I reckon! I'd travel distances (and I hate travelling) to hear him and the rest of the trio. Thanks for putting them on" - Jo
Just an amazing club, absolutely brilliant- seriously... Liane Carroll
Fantastic venue, lovely place to play - we'll be back! ....Pete King
Our Workshops...
I wanted to let you know that I found the jazz instrumental workshop I attended really excellent - learnt a lot from the different tutors and enjoyed the whole experience including the 'gig' on Sunday. So thank you for your organisation and support.

Pete Churchill gave a jazz singing workshop at Seven on Saturday 27 February (pictured). It was inspirational. Four hours of superb tuition - here are some of the comments from the 50+ people who were there

It was excellent. Pete Churchill was great. It has re-awakened my desire to sing - thank you!
Such an inspiration - really enjoyed it and felt I did really well (whether I did or not!!).
Great experience - as always with Pete.
Fantastic!!
Run it again - as soon as possible!
A really pleasurable afternoon. Excellent. Recommend it to anyone.
Great day - well worth travelling from Hull for! Can you do it again. please?!
A really fantastic informative and fun workshop from a great teacher and communicator!
Brilliant!
Terrific!
Absolutely marvellous. Nothing so therapeutic as singing!
It was brilliant. Please bring him back again!
Fabulous afternoon - would be so great to have a local jazz choir or more of these.
Absolutely brilliant - as an ex-choral singer it was great to loosen up and get a feel for singing jazz/rhythm music. Thanks! I will look out for any workshop/courses with Pete as tutor.
Fantastic - bring him back!!"
Pete Churchill's Trio also played at Seven on Thursday 25th February. Steve Watts was on bass, Dave Wickins on drums. Barry Travena said
"This was one of the best jazz gigs I’ve ever been to in my life …. Beautiful relaxed vocals and piano, very solid tuneful bass and the most swinging and sympathetic of drummers. There is a whole world of jazz in this Trio" . Read Barry's full review of the gig here
