Jellybean at Clifford School

June 17th, 2008

Many thanks to all at Clifford School for inviting us to their summer fair; extra thanks for feeding us lots of burgers and bottles of wine.  It was great to see the music we play getting children, parents, and the head teacher up to dance!

Enjoy some early summer jazz with jellybean at the Ivory

June 13th, 2008

We’re playing at the Ivory, Regent’s Terrace, Sheffield, on Tuesday 17 June.  Everyone’s invited.  We’ll be on from about 6.30pm to 9.30pm, and the Ivory offers fantastic locally sourced food if you need feeding while you listen.  See the Ivory’s page for contact details.

And the best song from our studio recording is …

‘Nature boy’. I think this song shows off what Jellybean is about better than any other - lots of vocal harmonies, a sultry and slinky beat, topped off by an electric sax solo. Enjoy!

Feedback from Fulwood Church

April 22nd, 2008

Always nice to know you’re appreciated … what follows is the text of a letter sent by Ed Pennington of Fulwood Church, following Jellybean’s gig in January 2008

‘Thank you so much for coming to play on Saturday. We were thrilled with how well the event went, and have had nothing but positive feedback from people who were there. I thought your sets were perfect for the evening, allowing people to listen to great music, whilst at the same time enjoying conversations. If it’s helpful, I’d be happy to give a recommendation to anyone who is considering booking you in the future.’

Current song list

I’ve just prepared for a client a complete list of songs that Jellybean perform, so I thought I’d post it up here while I was about it. It includes either the composer or a noteworthy performer to jog your memory as to how each song goes.
