Jane Williams and Gareth EvansBoth of these artists are Aberjazz favourites but have not appeared here together before. Jane has appeared as one half of Omega Two and with her own jazz band a few years ago, she has a lovely, versatile voice that can lend itself to many genres but has now found her niche as a jazz singer. Gareth is a fantastic guitar player who has appeared in a duo with Bella Collins quite a few times at Aberjazz. Jane and Gareth joined forces in the summer of 2023 after coming together to record an album of Jazz standard. They are both popular and sought after musicians in their own rights playing with various different acts and ensembles. Their album is a collection of popular jazz standards ranging from the popular ballad ‘Cry Me a River’ to the bluesy ‘Black Coffee’ (with a twist).
The James Oliver Band
James needs no introduction to the people of Fishguard who have enjoyed his performances in the Aberjazz Fringe over the past couple of years. This year he is on our main stage in Ffwrn. His band is one of the UK’s busiest acts, playing over 300 gigs a year all over the UK, Europe and the USA. In 2020 James won the UK Blues Award Emerging Artist of the year, and has since been nominated 3 additional times. His YouTube channel has over 20,000 subscribers and over 9 million views.
‘He is regarded as a force of nature in his native Wales, and R & B icon in Sweden and a guitar hero to his social media fans.” Blues in Britain Magazine
