The Nicola Farnon Quartet.
Nicola is widely recognised as one of the classiest jazz singers and double bassists in the UK. She has a passionate and swinging style, outstanding personality, and a charasmatic stage presence to match. Her repertoire embraces both classic jazz standards and her own originals. With her tonight are Mark Edwards (keys), Phil Johnson (drums) and Andy Panayi (sax & flute).
Adam Glasser Quintet – Adam (harmonica) started his career in jazz as a pianist but through the 1990s he began an increasing specialisation in the chromatic harmonica, which led to him filling in for Stevie Wonder twice. Adam’s South African roots and township rhythms are never far from his playing. His band at the Fishermen’s is Ant Law (guitar), Nigel Thomas (bass) and Paul Cavaciuti (drums) + Andy Panayi (sax/flute).
