As a finalist in the BBC Young Jazz Musician of the Year 2020, winner of the Rising Star category in the 2019 British Jazz Awards, and nominee in the Parliamentary Jazz Awards 2021, Alex is known to be one of the most in-demand and versatile young saxophonist players emerging on the British jazz scene. Praised for her intelligent ear for harmony and versatility across a broad range of styles, Alex’s lyrical, melodic playing is steeped in the tradition of jazz greats such as Cannonball Adderley and Charlie Parker. Now based locally in Warwick, Alex is pleased to be bringing a quartet of some of the UK’s finest jazz musicians to Kenilworth Arts Festival for an evening of sophisticated, feel-good jazz, blues and funk.

This is an outdoor event and while we hope that September brings with it warm summer evenings, there is a chance it may rain, so please be aware that this event is not under cover, so dress accordingly. In the event of extreme bad weather, we will arrange contingency plans which will be indoors.

Our onsite Covid safety measures
Whilst we recognise that there is now no limit to large events and no legal bases of previous mitigation measures, we are also mindful of public anxiety and our obligation to prevent transmission of the virus. Therefore, we will be taking several measures on site to help us do that.
We ask all attenders and performers to be mindful not just of themselves but also of others and to attend with care for all in mind. 
We will encourage through announcements and signage for attenders and artists to socially distance in common areas. Please observe directions given by stewards in relation to this on site.
Hand sanitisers will be positioned across the site for people to use.
People are advised to wear face coverings queuing for food or drink and when accessing the site.
We have a reduced capacity onsite which will allow more space for people to only remain in the household bubbles if they wish.
Attenders and artists should check for symptoms of COVID-19 (a high temperature, new and persistent cough, or a loss of/change in sense of taste or smell) before travelling to the event. If anyone you live with have one or more of these symptoms (even if they are mild) they should not attend and should follow the guidance on testing and self-isolation.
Volunteers and Crew are expected to undertake a lateral flow test prior to the event to ensure we are safeguarding the public and reducing risk of transmission.
Thank you for your co-operation and we hope you enjoy the event.
