A firm favourite on the swing jazz circuits until his legal career took over, this excellent player produces one of the sweetest sounds on the clarinet you’ll have heard. Superb articulation and a resounding attack to his notes makes listening to Duncan an absolute joy. We have the great timekeeper and guitarist, Caley Groves on guitar, plus of course our resident ‘stringsters’ Paul Jefferies and Ben Holder on bass and rebel fiddles respectively.

Before performing around the world with the Rat Pack show, The Drifters and Roy Hemmings, Andy was one of the Royal Airforce’s ace bend members - a ceremonial state musician with all the skill and rigour that requires. Andy has immense control of the woodwind instruments he plays and we particularly love his use of the tenor sax. Rich, sonorous rounded sound that’s both lyrical and commanding at the same time. Andy will be performing with pianist Craig Milverton, bassist Paul Jefferies and a fourth player to be announced.

Tom Kincaid’s piano playing is quite simply sublime! His deftness wether in stride, swing or groove modes is legendary and his sense of harmony sits just between the musical cusps of traditional and modern with gorgeous inversions and the most sensitive of touches. Tom is a prolific and celebrated composer of film & video music when he’s not performing and it’s his ability to compose beautifully ‘on the hoof’ that marks his playing out as exceptional. Virtuoso violinist Ben Holder can play at machine gun pace, but his melody playing is also exquisite and this pairing is particularly suited to music with a festive flavour - uplifting, joyous and tender. Paul Jefferies plays double bass - and he’s not bad either!
