Events

SUNDAY 6 JULY 1.00 pm KTS Annual Garden Party, in the north garden of the Kemp Town Enclosures – registration/reception tent is at the north gate of the north garden.  KTS Members receive an initial welcoming glass of wine; non-member guests are most welcome but are asked for a £5 contribution towards the event.  Please also bring a plate of finger food as a contribution to the food tent located beside the busy bar!

Music is provided by the ‘Vintage Hot Five’
The band was formed in 1993, partly with a view to performing the lesser known and neglected "pop" tunes of the 1920s and 1930s, but also any other number which took their fancy as well. Hence a thankfully non-existent musical policy, which embraces a repertoire of 773 tunes (and growing) but at the same time, is never drearily hidebound by any particular jazz "style" or "genre". They play what they want to play, the only band rule being that everyone has fun!

(If you think your membership may have lapsed, there will certainly be the opportunity to renew it for the rest of year at the registration tent)
