Cobweb Cabaret Ensemble
The Cobweb Cabaret Ensemble is a flexible group of around 10 to 17 players offering sophisticated entertainment for concerts, private functions and events. They play a wide range of music to suit the occasion, from classical and jazz to popular and Latin American numbers, led by Andy Jackson on his trumpet. The Cobweb Cabaret Ensemble also sometimes performs with the celebrated chanteuse Bridie Jackson. Previous performances include a concert in Hall 2 at The Sage Gateshead and playing for the Friends of Alnwick Gardens and Beamish Museum, as well as delegates at the 2012 Making Music Conference in Cardiff. The National Trust commissioned the Cobweb Cabaret Ensemble to record Franz Lehar’s ‘Gold & Silver Waltz’ for a CD for visitors to Lyme Park in Cheshire.

It has performed in beautiful venues such as Ushaw College, Aysgarth Church, Bowes Museum, and Preston Park Museum.
