I had a fantastic time as Artist in Residence at Lancaster Jazz Festival this September. What a great festival – and what a brilliant opportunity to offer artists. The headline performance with my ten-piece band was recorded, and should be available to hear soon, but in the mean time here are a few photos from the project.

Anton’s panorama of the whole group in rehearsal (minus himself!). Click to enlarge.

Festival banners with my face on….quite a weird experience!

Soundchecking at the Dukes…
The audience awaits!

On stage: you can just about see the whole band in this shot…

Cutting loose after the gig with festival director Matt Robinson at the Lancaster edition of ‘The Hat Speaks’ late night improv session.

The residency was a perfect way to start a new project. Massive thanks to Matt, Dave and the team for making it happen! I’m now keen to do more with the group in 2017, so watch this space….
