Island Life August/September 2018

Out & About
Jazz on
the Quay
Over 350 hardy jazz enthusiasts
braved unseasonably cold June
winds to gather at Duver Marina
and enjoy the third Jazz on the Quay
event – made welcomingly warmer
thanks to Sydenhams, who loaned
two huge heaters for the marquee.
The all new line-up this year was kicked off by the
Jim Thorn Quintet with modern jazz classics from
the 1940s-60s, and followed by salsa and Latin Jazz
specialists Toca Bonito, whose fabulous sounds
enticed plenty of people onto the dance floor.
Angel in the Kitchen dished up their legendary
traditional Paella, while the ingeniously-converted
vintage horsebox - the Water Horse Box Bar - was
on hand to quench thirsts, and on-site Duver Cafe
stayed open late serving hot drinks and bacon
rolls. Meanwhile, brand new Island business Nice
Ice IOW brought along their converted vintage
bike, serving a variety of locally-made ice-creams.
To date, the event - in support of Island
charity The Sophie Rolf Trust – KissyPuppy
- has added a further £2,076.50 to
the Harbour’s fundraising total.
