The Yokohama International Women's Club is holding its 52nd Azalea Tea from 10:30 a.m. on April 19 at the Hotel New Grand Yokohama.
Its program includes a charity jazz concert, "Swing in Yokohama," performed by Eiji Hanaoka and the Swing Shots. A leader of the festive occasion is Pamela Bodle, who arrived in Yokohama 18 months ago. She is a singer who originally and interestingly comes from the Beatles' city of music, Liverpool.
A schoolteacher, Bodle found her first job in a girls' junior school "just down the road from the Liverpool Football Club," she said.
