THE GRAND in Leigh will play host to Southend Jazz Co-op as it steps into the limelight for its tenth anniversary gig on Wednesday, December 14.

The pub will draw back the curtains at 8pm to reveal a variety of local musicians who have enjoyed expert guidance by local and international players while improving their music.

The event will feature jazz from be-bop to contemporary and entry is free, but limited by space.

The hotel hosts the co-op every Saturday evening from 10pm to 1am. For more details e-mail home.lee@zen.co.uk or call 07798 782723.
