Chicago Teddy Bears Society Jazz Band can be found playing at weddings, christenings, balls, barmitzvahs...a great choice for Wedding Jazz Band

We look forward to 2008 and the band diary is already beginning to fill, so far we have been asked to return to the IOM for their annual Festival in September, The Kirkcudbright Festival in June, The Pickering Jazz Weekend in July. Tamworth Jazz Club which has recently reopened have invited us to play in June, and of course one of our favorite venues, the four day Spring Flower Show at Malvern

One reminder to everyone who enjoys the jazz on the Isle of Man - next year the festival is in September, 19th - 21st, not August, so please try and keep this date in mind and book early. The guest musicians already booked are exceptional.

Our local residences at Maghull & Grappenhall are still strongly supported. If you're ever in our area call in and have a listen,maps of how to get to the gigs can be printed off from our gig maps page and you can get an update of gigs from our gig list page.

One other bit of information, we have released a new CD album entitled "SUMMERTIME'.

"It's not what you do, it's the way that you do it" and there is something about the way the Chicago Teddybears Society Jazz Band do it that attracts large audiences everywhere they go.

Based in North West of England since the early 1970's the band has undergone one or two changes, but the current lineup have been together for the last seven years resulting in the tight, polished performances which are the hallmark of the band.

Acclaimed as one of the most entertaining bands in the UK the Teddy Bears, with a repertiore ranging from Dixieland through
New Orleans to Mainstream, have thrilled audiences with their exuberance and vitality.

As the band's reputation has grown they now travel extensively throughout the country for Jazz Festivals, private functions or corporate events, hence the saying "Have band will travel".
However, such is, the demand from their staunch local supporters that they still play monthly residences at three of the best jazz scenes in the North West . (See the "Gig List").

Their versatility is such that they can be found playing at weddings, christenings, balls, barmitzvah, and for as many likely or unlikely functions as you would care to name. This is why their diary fills so quickly each year as word spreads of their ability to make a party "go with a swing" or a function to be a success. Repeat bookings year after year prove the point.
