About The Band Dr Jazz and the Cheshire Cats is a big band based in Lymm, just outside Warrington in Cheshire, and consists of talented musicians from across the North West. The band is rapidly establishing a profile in the region and performs regularly for weddings, parties, balls and functions. In addition, the band has a reputation for innovative programming, and in particular for performing new works and reviving historical performance styles. The band was formed in 2002 by musical director Catherine Parsonage, currently Head of the Centre for Jazz Studies UK at Leeds College of Music, and features a number of players from the nationally acclaimed North Cheshire Wind Orchestra. Whilst the majority of the members come from the Warrington area, other travel from as far afield as Bolton, Chester, Crewe, Liverpool, Macclesfield, Manchester, Preston and North Wales. The band continues to go from strength to strength, and has an increasingly busy schedule of gigs and concerts throughout the North West, covering Cheshire, Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Merseyside, Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Staffordshire and North Wales. The band operates as a co-operative, non-profit making organisation. As such, all income received is retained by the band and is used develop the skills of both the band and its individual members.
