Come join us on Sunday 8th March as we begin our 2026 season with the fabulous Nik Svarc (guitar), Martin Longhawn (organ) and Steve Hanley on drums.
Biography:
SHL perform original music with influences from the classic organ trios and current jazz musicians. Their music emphasizes both written material and extended improvisation.
Accolades / Press:
‘Leeds Guitarist Nik Svarc, drummer-percussionist Steve Hanley and keyboardist Martin Longhawn join the dots between Jazz-Rock and Hammond funk, discovering an interesting angle for an old-school sound mixed with some hyper-catchy hooks and grooves’ – Jazzwise magazine.
‘Nik Svarc has the sort of tone that other players can only aspire to and his fantastic command of his instrument is a real highlight of the album. His playing is very evocative and is never cold or lacking in emotion despite its obvious technical quality.’ – DPRP
‘These three push all the buttons, tick all the boxes. You want funk? you got it? You want Jazz? It’s right there. Maybe you want to go a little towards the outside? They’ll take you there and bring you back in one piece.‘ – Bebop Spoken Here
Line-up:
Nik Svarc - Electric / Acoustic Guitars & Loops
Steve Hanley - Drums / Shaker & Percussion
Martin Longhawn: Organ / Wurlitizer / Piano
