In a unique collaboration between Lichfield Festival, Young Enterprise and King Edward VI School, students of KES have formed an arts company, KESFEST23, to organise and run this event.
The Doorknobs, a renowned Aldridge-based Big Band, will perform jazz, swing and big band favourites from the 30s to the present day, supported by invited (surprise!) guest vocalists. From Take the A Train to Tequila and from Ella to Elvis, there will be something for everyone on what will be an unforgettable journey through the great tunes of the Jazz age.
KESFEST23 has been formed with a charitable purpose, and all proceeds from the event will go towards offering musical opportunities to disadvantaged local schoolchildren, removing financial barriers to give them access to instruments and tuition.
