This month we have a super presentation from our guest, Diana Taylor - a Film Editor and Film Director who started her career in 1978. Working with Ealing Film Studios (London) and later with the BBC, including as Director on a series called "Continuing Education".  After leaving the BBC she formed her own company Redcliffe Films in 2009 where she makes her own Film Documentaries and other works which has included a period costume drama!

Her presentation to us will be a romp though the St. Ives of the 1960s and will feature the singer Donovan.

JAZZ NIGHT with

Ewan Bleach & his Band

Preliminary - more info and ticketing to be advised later.

About this event:

You might have seen Ewan Bleach previously here at BRISTOL 1904 ARTS perform and lead at several sell-out events in 2022, 2023 and 2024 with the amazing Frog & Henry band from the USA. Well we are thrilled to announce his return here to BRISTOL 1904 ARTS  with his own UK based band on Friday 7th November, 2025.  So much looking forward to that !!!

Ewan Bleach is a clarinettist, saxophonist, pianist, singer, bandleader, composer, teacher and session musician based in London and specialising in the early styles of jazz, ragtime, blues and swing.  He is also involved in projects of new music with various ensembles and has been involved with other genres including afrobeat and traditional Turkish music.

But Ewan's interest lies primarily in the old sensibilities of pre-war music that he calls "music for dancing and romancing" 💞
