Matt Sulzman

He now leads his own quintet, and quartet and has performed with the Neon Orchestra, Dom Ingram Sextet, James Brady’s ‘Voyagers’ and the London jazz orchestra, and many more.

On Wednesday night he appears with the wonderful, lovable, and incredibly talented Alan Barnes.

Alan Barnes

To many Jazz lovers, Alan needs no introduction.

Nick-named by the late great Humphrey Lyttleton as ‘Honoury Crackpot’ Alan’s musical discography is legendary. He has received over 25 British Jazz awards, recorded many albums, and is highly respected by many of our contemporary Jazz musicians. Great Alan has performed and recorded commercially with household names like Bjork, Bryan Ferry, Michel LeGrande, Clare Teale, Westlife, and Jools Holland.

To spend an evening with him is to be transported into a timeless place of incredible musicality, reassuring humor, and companionship that melts away life’s trials and tribulations just for a while and explore and enjoy great music.
