Tom Baxter and friends...

Chris Ventriloquist did the intros and 2 stories in his usual charismatic charms, Beth Rowley sounded like no other, Charlie Winston rocked the house with his mass of smiles and energy that got me dancing, then Tom Baxter came on and it was wonderful indeed. If you don't know these people, please do encounter their craft. You won't regret it.

sound|byte

I went to see sound|byte at Cedar Court Hotel last night, the only youth saxophone big band in England, conducted by the amazing player himself, Ian Peak. Harrogate based 16 saxes, keyboard, guitar, percussion and drum kit sounded awesome, it was a very very nice time spent in their company. My favorite pieces were: Nice and Cool, Keep it cool composed and arranged by Johny Jones and Ian's own composition: the Frog. Can't wait till the next time...
