Solihull, where our Jazz Trio performsTowns, cities and regions have an influence on the style of music, whether it is the 'English Countryside' feel of Vaughan Williams, the strength of Elgar's Victorian Malvern, or the skirl of Northumbrian Pipe tune. Of Solihull, has been said:- " "Solihull probably came into being about a thousand years ago as a clearing in the forest to which people would come to trade. The Doomsday Survey of 1086 would suggest that it was one of the most sparsely populated areas in the country. The first known reference to Solihull occurs in a tax list dated around 1180. The earlier Anglo-Saxon settlement of Ulverlei lay about two miles north west, in the area of present day Olton. ""It is most likely that Solihull was founded, during the lordship of the last of the de Limesis , as a market centre , a 'planted borough'. The site chosen was at the junction of important medieval roads on top of the hill from which it derived its name 'soly hill' meaning 'miry hill'. It may be that there was already a holy well. The origins of St Alphege Church date from this time."" By 1200 Solihull was fully established and Ulverlei was being referred to as Olton. It began to develop at the beginning of the 13th century with market rights granted in 1242. In 1417 Henry V claimed the manor as his own. " "Well, the word jazz bothers me. It bothers me because, as long as I've been publicly identified with it, I've made less money and had more trouble than when I wasn't." - LOUIS ARMSTRONG Click to Enter database [Jazz Trios in Solihull for your wedding] [About Jazz Trios] [Ensembles in Solihull wedding music repertoire] [About Solihull] [About music in Solihull] [About Wedding Venues] [About Wedding Ceremonies registrars, ministers and music] [About kinds of music such as classical, jazz or folk] [Frequently Asked Questions FAQs] [Ensembles1] [Ensembles2] [Ensembles3] [Ensembles4] [Links] [Home Page] | | |
