Newark Jazz Festival 2008
In May this year, we will be supplying stage lighting for the Saturday and Sunday evenings' events at the Ann et Vin premises in Castlegate, Newark. In what will be two of the biggest shows of the festival weekend, some of the heavyweights of the jazz world will be appearing.
Saturday sees a stellar gathering of straight ahead, swinging mainstream jazz musicians. Trumpeter and composer Guy Barker, also to be heard playing with Sting and George Michael, has played for jazz greats Gil Evans and Quincy Jones and leads his own band. David Newton has been voted Best British Jazz Pianist seven times, while saxophonist/clarinettist Pete Long leads the Ronnie Scott’s Club Big Band and his own Echoes of Ellington orchestra featuring the UK’s finest. Newark has all three, on one Newark stage - in a wine shop!
On Sunday, Andrew Hall has assembled a one-off line-up of the best New Orleans-style players to bring the third Newark Jazz Festival to a riotous close, featuring top players from the US and UK - Karl Hird, Tony O'Sullivan, Roy Maskell, Bill Bryden, Bill Salmond and pianist Phil Parnell. Their CVs are impressive, their track records enviable and, if you enjoy a good time, don’t miss this this rousing finale! If you know these names, you won’t miss it. If you’re wondering what the fuss is about you’d better get your tickets now before they sell out.

The Kills in Nottingham
The Kills don't mess about. Their raw, minimal, clenched strain of rock'n'roll gets straight to the dirty little point. No frills, no back up. Just a man and a woman, digging deep, with a simple drum machine and a guitar that snarls like a Rottweiler. -- BBC
Join us on 2nd March 2008 @ The Art Organisation, Nottingham.
