Regular bands at the Harp.

The bands shown below have in some cases played for Jazz Club 90 since we started in 1990 and we will always be indebted to them for helping us to establish the Harp as a jazz venue now known all over the world. Many of the bands have themselves grown in stature over the years and now travel well beyond the Midlands to entertain jazz fans across the UK and Europe.

Hopefully you can hear "New Orleans Shuffle" by the New Washboard Syncopators...the CD of the same name can be obtained from their Website

This page will be gradually added to, if any band is missing you will appear eventually....even quicker if you can let me have a band photo!
