Christmas Jam Feat. Samara With Special Guest Trudy Kerr

Well, Xmas is almost upon us, and at this time of the year we really get in to the spirit of it all! This is the last night for us before we close for the holidays and we traditionally invite all the musicians who have performed at the Club through the year to come down for a jam. The band featured tonight is Club boss Steve Rubie’s group Samara, a six-piece jazz/Latin group, and suffice it to say we think the guys in the band are just great! The pianist, Neil Angilley works with Vanessa Mae, Shirley Bassey and “Down to the Bone”, Dill Katz, the bass player, is visiting professor at the Guildhall and Nic France the drummer, has worked with just about everyone, including Dave Gilmore (Pink Floyd) and Bill Withers. And watch out for our Special Guest vocalist, Trudy Kerr, who is renowned as one of the UK’s top jazz musicians, regularly selling out shows at prestigious venues and festivals around Europe and her native Australia. The music is an infectious blend of Brazilian Samba, jazz/Latin and soul and we usually take the tables out for the last set, so bring your dancing shoes and prepare to have a great time!
