Derek Nash at Mycenae

Sax supremo Derek Nash joins the resident house band for an evening of outstanding jazz in this amazing ex-convent in Blackheath, which will be converted for the evening into a fabulous candlelit jazz club. Derek has been a member of the Jools Holland Rhythm and Blues Orchestra since 2004, has led Sax Appeal for over thirty years, fronts the funk/fusion band Protect the Beat, and is a member of the Ronnie Scott's Blues Explosion. He is renowned for his energetic, vibrant, passionate and charismatic performances on all four saxophones and is an award-winning performer having received the John Dankworth Award and the British Jazz Award (Small Group) for Sax Appeal. He received Best Jazz CD of the Year for Young Lions, Old Tigers with the late Spike Robinson, receiving the same British Jazz Award for Joyriding by The Derek Nash Acoustic Quartet in 2012.
