Jazz Bar Swindon (Wiltshire) – Live Jazz Events at The Royal Oak

Quite simply, Alan Barnes is one of the titans of the UK Jazz scene and no Jazz programme should be without him. He has over 25 British Jazz Awards and twice been made BBC Jazz Musician of the Year. A star of the Saxophone, but also the Clarinet, he is not to be missed. He will be joined by rising piano star Eddie Gripper, Italian maestro Pasquale Votino and drum master Patrick Barrett Donlon

One of the most versatile guitarists on the scene Chris Cobbson is guitarist to Jazz legend Courtney Pine as well as a respected player of the African music scene. For this session he leads with the club debut of fellow guitarist Roi Geyari who is a Gloucestershire jazz guitarist influenced in bebop and swing. 

Organ extraordinaire Dan Moore has one of the most impressive CV’s on the scene. He studied 20th Century Music at Dartington College of Arts. As a keyboard player, he has toured internationally with artists including Percy Sledge, Pee Wee Ellis and Fred Wesley. As a producer and songwriter, he has worked with Joss Stone, Tom Jones, Roni Size, Rumer, and Will Young, while also collaborating with Andy Sheppard and Charles Hazlewood.
