A very welcome return from The Alvar Treefrogs for joyful, New Orleans jazz in the Courtyard at the historic Abbot’s Hospital on Guildford’s High Street.

Born out of an idea to breathe life into music long forgotten, music that made the streets of New Orleans a place to dance and party to in the 20s, 30s and 40s, music that is so hip you’ll want to hop around and dance to it.

In their words, “The band was born on Alvar Street, New Orleans, where one night, tired and happy, we listened to the Treefrogs singing their song. It then took 8 years to find the right musicians and to get the music just right. The players needed to swing, sing and love a frog based pun. We found them!!! Ever wanted to sing about eggs and butter, about Garbage Men, about your Aunt Tilly? We are your band!! “

Entry is free, just come in and listen anytime between 3pm and 5pm
