Harrogate, 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 Harrogate, has been said:- " Harrogate's name derives from Har-low-Gata meaning Grey-Hill-Road. The name Harlow is still remembered at Harrogate in the Harlow Carr gardens. The fame of Harrogate as a spa town can be attributed to William Slingsby who discovered spring waters (similar to those he had drunk abroad ) in a well at Harrogate called the Tewitt well. Today a dome marks the site of the well on the large open space in the centre of Harrogate called the Stray. The Stray at Harrogate covers 200 acres and was created by an act of Parliament in 1770. Before Slingsby's time, Harrogate was merely a village near the historic town of Knaresborough. Today Harrogate is bigger than its neighbour across the River Nidd to the east.
