Jazz Band Boogie 12th May 2012
On 12th May Salon Rouge will be playing at the Village Hall. The band brings a fresh traditional treatment of New Orleans Jazz and Classical Jazz to Dunchurch.
This band of 'young' old Jazzers from the Warwickshire area have been entertaining locally since 1974 and the evening promises to bring with it a lively, yet relaxing, yet envigorating atmosphere to our fortuitous village. The evening sports a New Orleans theme and includes a two course hot supper.
Tickets will be on sale at Wanda's from Easter at £15.
“There are two kinds of music. Good music, and the other kind.”
– Duke Ellington

Progressive Supper 16th June 2012
Dunchurch’s Annual Progressive Supper is a very sociable event and more about meeting new people in the village, catching up with old friends and having a good time, rather than the food.
If you want to be involved in this event or are just not sure what a progressive supper is, you can get full details of the evening here.
