A vocal jazz concert is coming to Christ Church.

A Macclesfield performer and their four fellow vocalists will be performing songs from jazz legends next month.

The event will take place at 4th August at 6:30pm, with tickets starting from just £7.

Proceeds from the concert and refreshments will support both the group in recording their music, and the great work done by volunteers to keep Christ Church thriving as a historic and welcoming venue at the heart of the community.

Jazz quintet Lo-Five will sing the likes of Stevie Wonder and Duke Ellington.

Cambridge University student Ben Mortshire-Smith, from Macclesfield, first started singing when he arrived at Fallibroome 6th form and decided to start up a barbershop quartet called The Gents within the first few weeks. 

In the last ten years since then, he hasn't stopped singing, in large and small choirs, both classical, choral and jazzy.

He brought his 30-strong university a cappella close harmony group called Cadenza to Christ Church Macclesfield four years ago en route to The Edinburgh Fringe, and the concert was well-supported and a huge success.

While it will be a homecoming show, it is also the last time they will perform together.

So there are hopes to fill the Macclesfield venue again this time around. Click the red link to get your tickets.
