Carlisle, where our Jazz Band performsTowns, cities and regions have an influence on the style of music, whether it is the 'English Countryside' feel of Vaughan Williams, the strength of Elgar's Victorian Malvern, or the skirl of Northumbrian Pipe tune. Of Carlisle, has been said:- " "Carlisle's history is a record of warfare and strife related to its strategic border position that made it a natural catalyst for warring factions of Scotland and England. But long before their time, at c80AD, the Romans were here, establishing Carlisle as their northernmost settlement. They called their town Luguvalium, and used it as an important supply depot for Hadrian's Wall. A few remains-Roman sewers, a fort, and houses-were found during excavations. By the 5th century the Romans were gone, and the history of the ensuing times is sketchy. Cuthbert, a bishop of Lindisfarne, was here in 685 after King Egdrid rebuilt and fortified the town. Both the Picts and the Vikings raided the area. In 876 the Vikings completely destroyed the town and its people, rendering it inhabitable. " "Jazz is a music that really allows a person to express his deepest self, his most personal self,Africa being the primary source of jazz. Naturally, improvisation and swing are a part of jazz, improvisation being the key."~ Harold Land Click to Enter database [Jazz Bands in Carlisle for your wedding] [About Jazz Bands] [Ensembles in Carlisle wedding music repertoire] [About Carlisle] [About music in Carlisle] [About Wedding Venues] [About Wedding Ceremonies registrars, ministers and music] [About kinds of music such as classical, jazz or folk] [Frequently Asked Questions FAQs] [Ensembles1] [Ensembles2] [Ensembles3] [Ensembles4] [Links] [Home Page] | | |
