17/06/2010 16:25:53 | Kenny Ball Night
Wow! just saw Kenny last night at the Sands, Gainsborough which is my favourite jazz venue in the whole of the UK. Kenny was outstanding and completely rocked the joint with some of the finest jazz, i have ever heard. I hope he is coming back soon as i definitely want to relive that experience of seeing a true Jazz legend in the flesh. Michael Snaith

Thank you for arranging the magnificent opening night at The Sands Venue, Blackpool, on Friday 6 August. The Civic Team (myself, Gill, Tony and Eileen) had a super evening. The meal was excellent and the entertainment was absolutely fantastic - what an amazing talented lineup. Angelo Starr and Marvin Ruffin were marvellous, and the musicians were brilliant. Well done. I am sure that The Sands will be a huge success as it adds a new dimension to the entertainment on offer in Blackpool. A number of people have told us that they are keen to return, as it was such a relaxing, enjoyable evening of the highest standard. Please give our best wishes and thanks to Peter Swann, who was an excellent host to us on the evening, and we wish him every success with The Sands Venue, Blackpool. Thank you again. Don Cllr. Don Clapham B.Sc. (Hons) Mayor of Blackpool

Dennis and his great band played 2 unmissable sets. Never before have i heard such funky soulful jazz, it is no surprise that he has won so many awards. His is no less than a Genius. I look forward to seeing him again in 2010.
17/06/2010 16:30:25 | WOW Cleo Laine
What can you say about Cleo Laine and Johnny Dankworth that hasn't been said before. The Sands came alive on Saturday night to see the lady "Dame Cleo Laine" sing up a storm. The music was as always incomparable and the audience almost brought the place down, but they always do. For me Saturday's show felt like a step back in time, with a highly professional five-piece band swinging with the crispness and glamour of a 30's style big band, and Cleo once again being truly amazing.
