Kenilworth u3a welcomes as members those who, no longer in full time employment, may have time to pursue and develop their own interests. In common with other u3as we draw on each other’s skills, knowledge and friendship to share learning, run our groups and take part in recreational and leisure activities.
Big Band Afternoon
It’s the u3a Big Band from Balsall Common who are giving us a great afternoon.
The band is the full works with Trumpets, Trombones, Saxophones, and a complete rhythm section of Piano, Electric Guitar, Electric Bass Guitar and Drums.
It’s Big Band Jazz music from the 20s - 70s like,
Puttin on the Ritz, In the Mood,
