"casually consummate musicianship, deadpan humour and indomitable belief in a respected place for the music’s rich history" John Fordham
Alan Barnes is a prolific international performer, composer, arranger, bandleader and touring soloist best known for his work on clarinet, alto and baritone sax. With over 30 British Jazz Awards, he has twice been made BBC Jazz Musician of the Year and has worked with Charlie Watts, Bryan Ferry, Michel LeGrande, Clare Teale, Jools Holland, Jamie Cullum, Stan Tracey, John Dankworth, Kenny Baker, Bob Wilber, and Humphrey Lyttelton.
Alan will be guest soloist for a jam session open to all, with a superb house band including Eddie Gripper (piano), Nick Kacal (bass), and Patrick Barrett-Donlon (drums).
Alan and the house band will kick off the evening with a set at 7:30pm, before opening the jam session for the rest of the night.
Instrumentalists and vocalists (and listeners!) of all abilities are welcome for this friendly, relaxed evening. Let us know on the door if you plan to take part in the jam, or email in advance ([email protected]).
Whether you plan to take part in the session or just soak up the atmosphere, this will be a brilliant night featuring some of the top players on the scene.
