The trio's first Railway Hotel gig since it wasn't the Railway Hotel gig. Should have been there back in January with Richard Iles but I got snowed in! Looking forward to visiting the new place...

Pizza Dave Walsh is still on the menu, I believe...

A first visit for me here, and one that I was about to do when the 2020 lockdown kicked in. Almost exactly six years' later, destiny is fulfilled! We didn't have Trio JDM back then, though, so this will be even better...

Try the Nut Wellington. We're here all week...

We aren't really. But do try the Nut Wellington.

I anticipated that a top-quality horn player would join the trio. and how right I was...

John Settle (vibraphone), Jamie Taylor (guitar), Adrian Knowles (bass)

Not often I get to play with a great vibraphonist, so I'm really looking forward to this. I'm guessing we might be in Red Norvo/Tal Farlow land here, but we shall see! Come the time, tickets will be available here. You will to need to book, I should think - it's not a huge room.

Kevin Holbrough (trombone), Jamie Taylor (guitar)

A very welcome return to The Lescar for me, in a new duo between Kev and I. We will hopefully have our album on sale by this point, and I can't wait to share it with everyone. This is a double bill with the excellent Sally Doherty/Paul Kilvington duo, so I don't yet know who is going first. Might be a coin toss!

Maranello returns to The Lakes...

A rush hour jazz set for more conversations in the tenor register...

Where the Maranello journey began! Tickets will be available here.

We had great fun at The Spa last August, but I understand it's being renovated currently so we may be at the Crescent Lounge, depending on how long the work takes. To be on the safe side, check the club's website here.

I was hoping we'd manage to get Maranello booked in at this great club, and we have. Can't wait!

A second 2026 Cumbrian trip for the Maranellos!

​Maranello at #9 is always one of my favourite gigs to do. Such a lovely, intimate setting, and it's Christmas too! Tickets will be on sale here.

Writing this in Dec 2025, which tells you something about the lead-time for gigs these days! Nevertheless, we are absolutely delighted to be bringing the organ trio to this wonderful venue. It seems a long way off now, but it'll come round. Ticket info here nearer the time.
