"Oh wow that's a wonderful band" said one well known Leeds jazz singer when we told her about the concert . Big Ronnie Bottomley is truly a Leeds big band legend. His arrangements are founded firmly in the classic big band repertoire but also Ron's own special creations. He'll be conducting his All-Star Jazz Orchestra - get there early for what will be a popular Christmas concert! Ronnie has known so many top musicians over so many years that he has an immense pool of musicians to call upon. His experience over 5 decades as a performer and educator has gained him respect of his and later generations and he is indefatigable in his composing and arranging which continues unabated.
