Devon’s music scene is set to come alive on Friday 10th May, with a special Jazz Benefit in support of InFocus, the local charity empowering young people with visual impairments and complex needs. The event, hosted by local business owner and jazz artist Joy Parke, will be held at the Heavitree Social Club in Exeter.


This unique evening features a performance by the acclaimed Craig Milverton Quartet. Milverton, described by Marseille’s Le Jazz Hot magazine as “one of the most gifted British pianists with technique and imagination in abundance,” will be joined by outstanding guitarist Ben Milverton, and the superb rhythm section of Kevin Sanders on bass and Gary Evans on drums.


“This is a fantastic opportunity to experience the best of Devon’s jazz scene while supporting a vital local cause,” says Parke. “Whether you’re a seasoned jazz fan or just discovering the genre, you’re sure to have a memorable evening.”


Experience Craig Milverton live in advance of his performance at the Sidmouth International Jazz & Blues Festival, all for the fraction of the price!


The event will also provide attendees with the chance to learn more about InFocus Charity and the inspiring young people they support. Raffle draws will be held throughout the evening, offering exciting prizes for attendees.
