Ben & Soph's Jazz - The September Sessions
A Jazz & Blues Mini-Fest 2026
SATURDAY 5th & SUNDAY 6th SEPTEMBER 2026
We're back for 2026 with another wonderful extended offering of incredible live jazz & blues in the
lovely Leicestershire countryside. This year we're hosting 'The September Sessions' at Market Bosworth
Parish Hall - a regular venue of ours in one of England's true historical market towns. Market Bosworth
is a beautiful spot with many cafés, pubs, restaurants, shops and accommodation options, making it a
wonderful place to spend the night and enjoy lots of great live music.
We've curated an evening and an afternoon of shows featuring more of the UK jazz & blues scenes'
top players - including musicians that you'd normally have to travel miles to see - and will bring them
together across one weekend in the Midlands!
