Chris Cobbson is a truly great guitarist with a musical foot in all the jazz camps you can think of and a jazz pedigree that starts with being invited to join Courtney Pine’s Jazz Warriors and has seen him collaborate with many of the current UK jazz scene’s finest musicians. So, we thought it would be fun to have him create a concert that played you through some of the music that made the jazz guitar (and there banjo) so popular in jazz. Chris will be performing with Ben Holder on violin (perhaps warbling a song or two), Paul Jefferies (double bass) and Mike Cypher (drums).

Andy Hooley Band
Thursday 4th August
£15.00 (in advance only no tickets on door)
Doors open at 18:30, show starts at 19:00
Clarinettist Andrew (Andy) Hooley impressed us so much last year with his exquisitely melodic lines and great improvisations, that we had to get him back to gig with us again. Following a distinguished career in the RAF as a leading bandsman, Andy has carved himself out an enviable career performing with some of the country’s finest big bands and educating a new generation of young reeds players. Andy will take a musical nod to the greats of Clarinet, ably accompanied by the crack rhythm pairing of Denny Ilett (Jnr.) on guitar and Paul Jefferies on double bass and joined out front by violinist Ben Holder.

Together with husband Mike, Kim Cypher has created a huge following amongst jazz fans up and down the UK, not just for her sunny brand of uplifting jazz but also as a presenter of one of the UK’s now most popular radio spots. Kim plays sax and sings popular jazz standards with zany presentation and style - a real treat to watch and listen to. The band for this show will feature Kim of course but also Ben Holder on violin, Caley Groves on guitar, Paul Jefferies on basses and of course husband Mike Cypher on drums. She’s popular for a reason - check this out!
