North Down Borough Council’s Summer Entertainment continues this Sunday, 18th August with the very talented Meilana Gillard performing at The Bandstand in Ward Park.
Meilana, a New York native is the best thing to happen to Northern Ireland jazz in years and has taken the scene here by the scruff of the neck. She studied at New School New York and ended up as Tenor player in the much acclaimed Charlie Persip Big Band but has credits with many of the biggest names in New York and is a member of the famous Diva Big Band as well as playing as part of the Village Vanguard Jazz Orchestra.
With her band of highly talented musicians, Sunday’s set will be made of some much-loved standards arranged in Meilana’s unique style along with some of her own originals. If it’s quality jazz you’re looking for, then look no further than Ward Park this Sunday, you are in for a treat!
The show runs from 3pm – 5pm so gather your friends and family, pack the picnic and don’t miss it!
