The Loxwood Jazz Club was established in 2009 to raise funds for the extension and renovation of North Hall. The club continues to contribute to the running of the hall through its monthly musical evenings featuring professional musicians normally seen on London and international stages. This is possible thanks to top saxophonist Simon Bates, who has played with many major artists including Van Morrison, Rick Astley and Bette Midler. Simon has persuaded his friends and colleagues to play in Loxwood to help raise funds for his local hall. Variety is the spice of life and over the years all types of jazz music have been enjoyed.
