Nantwich Town Council has agreed an entertainment deal with organisers of the Nantwich Jazz Festival to bring more entertainment to the Civic Hall.
Councillors hope the deal will see a varied range of shows at Nantwich Civic Hall in 2015/16.
David Thomas, general manager of Nantwich Civic Hall, said: “We are pleased to announce additional entertainment at the Civic Hall with an emphasis on catering for all age groups and tastes and a high calibre of entertainment.
“Our ambition is to keep bringing music of all genres to the town.
“We’re thrilled with the entertainment that our pairing with the Jazz and Blues events team will bring.”
This year’s Nantwich Jazz & Blues Festival at Easter featured more than 130 shows at 15 different venues across the town.
Phillip Martin, one of the organisers and owner of The Crown Hotel, said: “The Civic Hall is a great asset for Nantwich and deserves to be used to its full capacity.
“I am looking forward to working with Nantwich Town council. I am sure together we can put on some fantastic music that will cater for all tastes.”
Nantwich Town Cllr Arthur Moran said: “We are very pleased to be working with Nantwich Jazz and Blues Events team.”
The first show will be held on January 9 2015 with iconic 70s band Showaddywaddy

Meanwhile, the Civic Hall will also be hosting a week-long Christmas event for families between December 7 and 11.
Santa’s Dizzy Days show is aimed at 2 to 6 year olds, designed to make children laugh, encourage them to sing their favourite songs and ask them to help Santa out of a tricky situation.
As an added treat, all children will get to meet Santa and receive a gift.
The show is about 40 minutes long with a meet and greet Santa straight after.

Great news, but please book some good, original bands/performers (new and established) and try not to go down the predictable tribute act/has-been route. And what about some classical musicians once in a while?
