Like everyone else, I'm very glad indeed to see live music continuing at this institution of a Northern venue. It won't have happened without a lot of hard work, and I thank everyone involved. I hope its future is relatively secure; these are super-difficult times for venues, promoters, and musicians alike. Please support if you can.

RICHARD ILES, JAMIE TAYLOR,
BEN CROSLAND
Irish Centre, Huddersfield, HD1 5BB, 2pm.

A change of plan here, as Adrian Ingram is now unable to appear. I very much hope that he is able to get back to performing live again soon. However, I know this new line-up will be an equally rewarding musical experience. Hope to see you there! Tickets available here.

JOHN STOWELL/JAMIE TAYLOR QUARTET
Sheffield Jazz, Crookes WMC, S10 1TD, 8pm
John Stowell, Jamie Taylor (guitars), Jeremy Brown (bass), Dave Walsh (drums)
I could not be happier to welcome my good friend John Stowell to the North of England again - he is, as many of you will know, a truly world class and utterly unique guitarist. Add a rhythm section of this calibre, and I am in absolute dreamland. It also means a lot that we're doing the first of these shows at a venue that's geographically the closest to my front door - all back to mine for the hang! Click here for tickets.

A second date for my dream band, and the day in between is my birthday as well. Fancy turning 21 (ahem!) in the middle of all this excitement, eh? Click here for tickets.

MARANELLO TRIO

The mid-week rush-hour slot at Leeds Jazz; why sit stationary on one of our broken motorways, when you could sit listening to the Maranello Trio instead?
Saturday February 22nd 2025 – TRIO JDM
Zeffirelli's,Ambleside, LA22 9DJ, 8.30pm

Kirkgate Arts, Cockermouth, CA13 9PJ, 7.30pm

JAMIL SHERIFF/JAMIE TAYLOR DUO
Rise @ Bluebird, York, YO24 4HD, evening, £10

Again, a new venue on me, that looks fantastic. Even better is the long overdue opportunity to reconnect on the bandstand with my old mate and longtime colleague Jamil Sheriff; without doubt one of the most significant creative voices on the Northern scene.
