Solo piano gigs

On 24th June 2025 I'll be at Winchester Cathedral again for another lunchtime concert, starting at 1.15 pm. When I played there last year the place was packed, the audience very appreciative, which proves that jazz can work in such hallowed surroundings. Very pleased to be asked back ... Then on 12th July 2025 there is an evening recital at a venue new to me, the United Church in Winchester's Jewry Street. I play quite a lot in churches partly because they have good pianos. The one in The United Church is a case in point, a brand new Boston Steinway which is a joy to play ...

Martin Shaw and Andy Panayi

On 29th May 2025 at St. Paul's Church in Winchester, I'll be joined by the wonderful trumpet player Martin Shaw, and Andy Panayi on flute, the line-up completed by my old friend Iqbal Pathan on tabla. An unusual combination of instruments, with a wide ranging selection of music .. start time, 8 pm.

First gig since covid!

Saturday 11th June 2022 at 8 pm. Returning at last to St. Mary's church in Twyford, near Winchester, after a long break ... this time a trio with Tim Wells on double bass and Iqbal Pathan on tabla. Haven't played in this combination before ... should be interesting!
