Peterborough Jazz Club Will Start Up Again in 2024

Peterborough Jazz Club Will Start Up Again in 2024

Peterborough Jazz Club delighted to have teamed up with Landmark Theatres to relaunch the Jazz Club at the Studio Theatre, The Key Theatre. The first two concerts of the new season will be :

Friday, 26^th January 2024. Music Starts 7.45pm. Tickets: £15

Dave O’Higgins Quintet featuring Martin Shaw

Dave O’Higgins (tenor saxophone), Martin Shaw (trumpet & flugelhorn), Liam Dunachie
(piano), Matyas Hofecker (double bass), Joe Dessauer (drums)

The opening concert of the new season at the Club features the classic front line of saxophone and trumpet, with two of the finest jazz musicians on the scene. Dave O’Higgins has established himself as one of the leading saxophonists of his generation, a dazzling post-bop player with superb technique and a highly developed harmonic sense. He has recorded 24 albums as leader, has been nominated multiple times in the British Jazz Awards,  and is a highly regarded jazz educator. Dave also wrote and produced the last Matt Bianco album “Gravity”.  Martin Shaw is widely regarded as one of the leading jazz trumpeters in Europe, with his powerful yet wonderfully melodic fluent playing.  As well as playing in many of the top jazz outfits, both in the UK and abroad, he has toured and featured in the bands of Sting, Jamiroquai and Natalie Cole. Martin is currently Professor of Jazz Trumpet at the Royal College of Music, London.

Dave O’Higgins and Martin Shaw have a long musical association, dating back to the 1990’s and the quintet will be playing a selection of great jazz tunes and standards, old and new, backed by a superb rhythm section. 

“O’Higgins plays with quite exceptional fluency and his fund of ideas never runs out.”
THE OBSERVER

“Martin Shaw….one of Europe’s top trumpeters” Jazz Times

Dave O'Higgins (daveohiggins.com)

Friday, 16^th February 2023  Music starts: 7.45pm

Alan Barnes & Karen Sharp Quintet

Alan Barnes (alto & baritone saxophone), Karen Sharp (tenor & baritone saxophone), Colin

Oxley (guitar), Andrew Cleyndert (double bass), Steve Brown (drums)

Alan Barnes is one of Britain’s most distinguished and versatile saxophonists and is a prolific international performer, composer, arranger and bandleader. He is a multi-instrumentalist, best known for his alto and baritone sax playing, where he combines a formidable virtuosity with a musical expression and spirit that have few peers. Alan has received over 25 top British Jazz Awards over many years and has recorded 30 albums as leader or co-leader. His special musicianship and warm rapport with the audience have made him uniquely popular in British jazz. Karen Sharp has been an important figure on the UK Jazz scene since 2000. She is admired for her melodic, full-toned playing, winning best tenor saxophonist on many occasions at the British Jazz Awards and also appearing in the list for rising star baritone sax in the USA Downbeat Critics poll. Karen currently leads her own quartet and also appears as guest soloist with visiting USA stars such as Scott Hamilton and Warren Vache, as well as guesting with many of the top UK bands and has recorded 7 highly acclaimed albums as leader.

Together with the brilliant rhythm section backing Alan and Karen, this concert will be top quality straight ahead jazz of the highest calibre.

“Barnes is a legend in the British jazz community” John Fordham, The Guardian

“Sharp loves melody, as reflected in her relaxed and natural phrasing” USA Downbeat Magazin

We are grateful for the support of Landmark Theatres to Peterborough Jazz Club

Dale Storr headlines Town Hall Live at Kirton In Lindsey this Friday, the 20th October 2023

Dale Storr headlines Town Hall Live at Kirton In Lindsey this Friday, the 20th October 2023

'If there is a better New Orleans style pianist than the outrageously talented Dale Storr, please

point me in his or her direction because he or she must be very, very special' - Blues in Britain Magazine.

Dale Storr is the epitome of a local boy made good.  He grew up on Hemswell and went to Huntcliff  School went in Kirton. His parents still live in Kirton, but Dale is based in Sheffield. 
Described by the Jazz Journal Magazine as the 'piano man's' piano man and a natural treasure, Dale's musical journey has brought him recognition as one of the UK's leading exponents of New Orleans piano,

Inspired by his parents record collection, the evocative music of New Orleans quickly became a passion foe the schoolboy pianist.  His piano studies took him to Sheffield, where he established himself as a highly sought player backing many of the top blues stars from the UK and America.  However, the music of his beloved New Orleans was always going to take precedence and from 2008 Dale went solo with his acclaimed 'Sounds of New Orleans' concerts.

  He has wowed audiences across the country and Europe with his intoxicating mastery of the piano and his vocal delivery for over 15 years..  Dale draws in the audience with the rich history of the music, telling stories of his much loved piano heroes.

  Tickets are priced at £14.  They are available from Brian on 01652 649230/ brianchudley@btinternet.com, from Morrisons Daily in Kirton or www.wegottickets.com

Rod Picott  Headlines Kirton In Lindsey Town Hall Live Friday, 29 September, 2023 

Rod born in New Hampshire, raised in Maine and has lived in Nashville for the last twenty five
years.  A former sheet rock hangar, he traded in his hammer and trowel for a guitar in 1998.  He has released 15 albums since then and has been coming to the UK since since 2000.  Rod is an ace storyteller, his songs are expertly crafted living creations filled with observations of the human condition.  He is one of our too little known songwriting treasures, and often collaborates with his childhood friend Slaid Cleaves.
In 2022 he released his latest album 'Paper Hears and Broken Arrows,  It is a collection of some of the strongest songs that Rod has ever written, ranging from the heart-breaking narrative of Sonny Liston's tragic life to rocking declarations of loyalty.  The album was produced by the renowned producer Neil Hubbard.
Live, he puts on a great show one that will be packed with fantastic songs covering his 25 years as a touring musician.  He will have the audience listening intently to his songs and entertain people with his between song banter.

Support will come from Nick Thurtell, a singer songwriter from Surrey.. 

Tickets are priced at £14.  They are available from Brian on 01652 649230/ brianchudley@btinternet.com, from Morrisons Daily in Kirton or www.wegottickets.com.
