This is followed up with a Christmas Special on Wed Dec 3rd with everyone's favourite saxophone player, Alan Barnes, who is joined by the lovely Nicola Farnon Trio with multi instrumentalist Piero Tucci and drummer Phil Johnson". Humphrey Lyttleton said about Nicola “She’s a remarkable performer on stage, a fine singer and an outstandingly swinging and propulsive bass player with an outgoing personality to match..!” Whatever time of year this line up will send you home happy!!
