Giles – Annual CND fund raising concert with Alyn Shipton from BBC Radio
3 and featuring six of the nations finest exponents of classic swinging jazz, dynamic Lindy Hop dancers and local singing sensation Kelly Michaeli, £15 or £10 concession entry.

“Oxford Classic Jazz Band leader and legendary swing piano player Nick Gill offers a hand-picked band of authentic jazz musicians playing the music in its original form evoking the riotous speakeasies and rent-parties of New York in the 1930s with the Lindy Hoppers dancing to the same irresistible rhythm with the words and melodies provided by the elegant Kelly Michaeli. This concert will enchant your imagination and send you home with a swing in your step!”


Why CND?

There are 4 existential threats facing the human race – Rapid climate change, Vulnerability to global pandemics, AI take-over and Nuclear war.

The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament addresses the last of these but is united with other protest movements in its commitment to peace, justice and rational holistic solutions that place value on every member of our human species.
