Witney Jazz presents – The Denny Ilett Blues Special
03 May 2024 @ 7.30pm to 9.30pm
About Witney Jazz presents – The Denny Ilett Blues Special
One of the most authentic blues singers and guitarists of his time.
The son of the late trumpet legend Denny Ilett, Denny Junior has for over 30 years astounded audiences with his bluesy-inflected jazz guitar performances.
He was the first call for many of the top UK artists and big bands and was, for many years, touring the world with the wonderful New Orleans singing music ambassador, Lillian Boute.
It was about time the club was treated to Denny Ilett, the blues singer and guitarist. Superb guitar skills, a very fine voice, and outstanding band leadership mark this guy as one of the very finest.
And he’s on stage with an awesome band comprising Tom Berge (piano/organ), Paul Jefferies (double bass and bass guitar) and Kevin O’Rourke (drums).

About Corn Exchange, Witney
The Corn Exchange is a public hall in the centre of Witney, located in West Oxfordshire. A community space and multi-purpose arts venue. Whether you are looking for music, theatre, comedy nights, lectures, conferences or even weddings, it is the venue for you.
The Corn Exchange, Witney, was built by the private Corn Exchange Company in 1863, replacing a 16th-century building used in the 1850s as a corn returns office. This beautiful stone building was designed by architect J. Collier of Putney in an Italianate style and, by 1875, was Witney’s leading building.
From the outset, it was used for social events and meetings as well as corn dealings and housed several clubs and societies. The building continues to fulfil this purpose and will continue to do so in the future.
With the 19th-century building incorporating all the character you would expect, plus the addition of modern facilities, and not forgetting the in-house café and bar 1863, The Corn Exchange is a destination and focal point for the people of West Oxfordshire and beyond.
