Harpenden, 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 Harpenden, has been said:- " Wesleyan Methodism in Harpenden can be traced back to 1814 when, twice on Sundays, meetings were held in a row of cottages in the High Street - called Chapel Row. There is rumour that John Wesley preached in the village but no positive records! While Wesleyan Methodism was practised in the village, Primitive Methodism was confined to the area named Bowling Alley, about a mile south of the centre of Harpenden, which, today, is named Southdown " ‘Jazz’, used mainly as an adjective descriptive of a band. The groups that play for dancing, when colored, seem infected with a virus that they try to instill as a stimulus to others. They shake and jump and writhe in ways to suggest a return to the medieval lumping mania.
