Jazz Night brings hard bop to Alvechurch on 3 August: what residents need to know
Jazz Night will bring the sounds of 1950s and 1960s Bebop and Hard Bop to Alvechurch Sports and Social Club on Monday 3 August 2026. The performance is scheduled from 8pm to 10.30pm at the Radford Road venue.
Visit Worcestershire Events confirms the date, time and address, but does not state a ticket price or say whether advance booking is required. The concert is likely to be most relevant to listeners interested in classic jazz standards and music associated with the bands of Art Blakey and Horace Silver.
Hard Bop Collective focuses on a specific jazz period
Hard Bop Collective comprises local musicians whose stated aim is to keep alive music linked to the leading Bebop and Hard Bop bands of the 1950s and 1960s. The event description also promises favourite standards alongside material inspired by Art Blakey, Horace Silver and others from the period.

That gives prospective listeners a clearer indication of the programme than a general “jazz night” description might suggest. The concert is centred on Bebop and its later Hard Bop development, with the emphasis placed on a recognisable period and band-led tradition rather than a broad survey of unrelated jazz styles.
No individual compositions or complete running order have been published. Listeners can therefore expect a period-focused programme, but the balance between familiar standards and other selections connected with the featured musicians remains unconfirmed.

When and where Jazz Night takes place
The scheduled performance window is two and a half hours, beginning at 8pm and ending at 10.30pm on the same evening. The source does not give a separate opening or admission time, so 8pm is the only confirmed time available for planning purposes.
The venue is Alvechurch Sports and Social Club, Radford Road, Alvechurch, B48 7LD. Both the start and end times are included in the Visit Worcestershire listing, making it possible for attendees to plan around the full advertised concert window rather than only the opening performance time.

Practical details to check before attending
The published event information does not include a ticket price, booking or entry instructions, transport guidance, or accessibility information. Anyone planning to attend should confirm those points directly before travelling, particularly whether a place must be reserved in advance and when attendees can enter the venue.
The confirmed details are Monday 3 August 2026, an 8pm start, a 10.30pm finish and Alvechurch Sports and Social Club as the venue. The Visit Worcestershire Events listing is the source for the published schedule and address.
