A beautiful late summer's day jazz concert in a Kent country manor house gardens, to a sold out (numbers restricted) audience. Chantelle Duncan vocals Tim Wade Trombone Nigel Thomas bass, myself Keys. We need more !

Many thanks to Maggi at Hastings Philharmonic and Peter Mould for photos of the Philharmonic benefit gig (panel and gallery), with Marcio Chacon, Louis Barclay, Roger Carey and Liam Genocky. It seems an age ago, but it was just only just before the Covid shutdown, a gig all the more poignant for being the last one for quite a while…. Keep Safe

Looking forward to playing the Jazz Night fundraising Concert for the Hastings Philharmonic with Roger Carey bass (Lianne Carroll) and Liam Genockey drums (Steeleye Span) featuring Marcio da Silva on vocals Louis Barclay Trumpet Cambridge Hall Hastings Friday March 13 8pm
