The Big Beer Band’s performance at Folkestone’s Quarterhouse lit up the Music in the 2023 May festival with a surge of joyful, high‑octane big‑band energy, turning the venue into a swirl of singing, dancing, and smiling faces. With a powerhouse lineup drawn from NYJO alumni, conservatoire talent, and seasoned West End players, the band delivered classic and contemporary charts with precision and swagger, while guest vocalists Jessica Hynes, Nina Clark, Katie Bradley, and Sophia Stutchbury each added their own spark to an already electric night. It wasn’t just a concert — it was a full‑blown celebration, and Folkestone embraced every moment.
