Our year is split into three terms from October to June, each term consisting of ten weeks. Sessions are held on Tuesdays between 2pm and 4pm. Each session features a guest speaker - usually a musician, although we sometimes invite writers or broadcasters.
Currently the most cost-effective way to attend is to pay £60 per term. Otherwise you can pay £8 for each individual session (£10 for the end-of-term gig). To pay in advance:

The Richmond Rhythm Club originated from classes in jazz history taught at Richmond Adult College by the pianist and trombonist Eddie Harvey, a contemporary of Ronnie Scott and John Dankworth and a pioneer of jazz education at a time when it barely existed in the UK. The original students later formed a breakaway group, continuing the sessions in the nearby Orange Tree pub.
Eddie is no longer with us but the Club carries on. We are now based at the Twickenham Club, 7 Church Street, TW1 3NJ.
Church Street is about 10 minutes' walk from Twickenham Station. Bus routes serving nearby Richmond Road, London Road and King Street include 33, 110, 290, 267, 281, 681, 481, 490, H22, R68 and R70.
