Pine
LINE-UP: COURTNEY PINE - SAXOPHONES, CAMERON
PIERRE - GUITAR, ROBERT FORDJOUR - DRUMS, CHRIS
JEROME - PIANO/KEYBOARDS, DARREN TAYLOR - BASS,
OMAR PUENTE - ELECTRIC VIOLIN
It’s almost two decades since Courtney
Pine journeyed to the urge within and released
a shock-and-awe debut album that put contemporary
jazz in the British Top 40 album charts for
the first time. He is a multi-award winning
artist and now broadcaster with a live touring
history that has brought his sound to audiences
across the world.
His music crosses genres, bringing together
jazz, reggae, hip hop and drum and bass influences
in a totally inclusive way.
2007 sees the re-release of his classic ‘Modern
Day Jazz Stories ’ (a Mercury Music Prize
Album of The Year) so expect to hear old favourites
alongside first airings of new album material
and gems from his current ‘Resistance’
set.

Kate
Rusby
Kate Rusby has not only become one of the British
folk scene’s best loved and most revered
artists, she has taken the music to startling
new territories, seducing audiences who’d
normally run a mile from folk music.
Kate was awarded BBC Radio 2 Folk Singer of the
Year 2000, Best Original Song in 2002 and Best
Live Act in 2006.The album Sleepless, was awarded
BBC Radio 2 Best Folk Album of the year in 2000

folk singer’ The Guardian |

James
Taylor Quartet
James Taylor, Hammond guru, has consistently remained
at the forefront of the jazz funk scene since
his debut twenty years ago. JTQ’s first album
in 1987, Mission Impossible, laid the foundation
for what would become their signature sound: funked-up,
sleazed-down, keyboard-driven jazz that could
be Webster’s entry for “groovy.”
Renowned for their film and TV themes, live favourites
include JTQ’s debut single “Blow Up,”
the mesmerising “2001,” and of course,
the inimitable, infamous “Starsky & Hutch.” |

Eliza
Carthy and the Ratcatchers
Twice nominated for the prestigious Nationwide
Mercury Prize (‘Red Rice’ –Topic/1999
and ‘Anglicana’/2003) – Eliza is
also the winner of an unrivalled seven BBC Radio
2 Folk Awards. In 2003 she became the first traditional
English musician to be nominated a BBC Radio 3
Award for World Music (for Anglicana). Describing
herself simply as a ‘modern British musician’
she has revitalised and made folk music relevant
to new audiences with intelligent, charismatic
and boundary-crossing performances.
‘Eliza Carthy is one of the figureheads
of the English folk revival … compelling’
– Evening Standard.
‘A gloriously natural singer ’
