This is an arts space created in a Victorian Shoefactory in Rushden, Northamptonshire by musician and writer Nick Weldon and the singer Andra Sparks. The venue is quiet, huge, filled with light, and has three grand pianos, including the lovechild of the Italian Fazioli and the Japanese Yamaha. We know her as Yamioli

TEACHING
Nothing but the best! This is your chance to play and learn with the most experienced players and teachers around. Many of the techniques of Jazz are very simple when explained in the right way by the right people. Save yourself hours of solo frustratiion! Small groups and expert tuition guarantee swift results.
There is a terrible shortage of adult learning opportunities for players new to Jazz Improvisation. We're offering a series of short courses to fill this gap!
For all instruments, the courses take place once a month, on Sundays, running either between 10.30am and 1pm, or 2pm and 4.30 pm, at a cost of £20 per person. Or make a day of it and stay for both sessions!
The venue is The Shoefactory, and introducing jazz dates for the 2010 Spring/Summer Season are:
