Seventeen talented jazz musicians will come together on Friday night (3rd February 2023) at Southport Jazz Festival to give guests the true Big Band experience.
Swingtime Big Band featuring Liane Carroll and Emma Holcroft will take place at The Grand on Lord Street in Southport from 8.30pm.
Tickets, £25 each, are available here.
Festival Directors Emma Holcroft and Jez Murphy said: “Swingtime Big Band became synonymous with Friday evening sold out shows to a packed audience at Southport Jazz Festival. And who are we to change such a popular and successful formula?”
Led by Musical Director Jez Murphy the band is made up of 17 North West based freelance musicians who are the finest exponents of Big Band swing around. Based around a superb rhythm section the band shows off tight ensemble playing and excellent soloists throughout each section.
Most importantly the band always delivers a varied and highly entertaining programme of music.
Joining the band and stealing the show are vocalists Liane Carroll and Emma Holcroft.
Emma has a very successful solo and small band career as one of the UK’s leading vocalists, who sings a wide repertoire of classic jazz standards and has received superb reviews from past festivals.
London-born and Hastings-raised, multi award winning singer/pianist Liane Carroll is one of the UK’s greatest musical treasures. A soulful, emotive singer, she is capable of moving an audience to tears with her heart-breaking ability to inhabit a lyric or to have them jumping for joy with her breath-taking vocal virtuosity.
Her latest album Seaside was released to great critical acclaim last autumn. An homage to her life by the coast, it won a ‘British Jazz Award’ for ‘Best New Album’, appeared on several ‘Best Jazz Album’ lists at the end of the year and was nominated for a 2016 Parliamentary Jazz Awards.
The 2023 Southport Jazz Festival takes place this weekend with some of the UK’s biggest names in jazz.
Music lovers can enjoy the three-day spectacle at The Grand from Friday 3rd February to Sunday 5th February 2023.
Southport Jazz Festival is being organised for the first time by acclaimed local musicians Jez Murphy and Emma Holcroft, who have taken over from Neil Hughes.
There are 10 performances in total across the three days with people able to attend the show of their choice, or to buy a day pass, or to buy a Weekender Ticket with all 10 shows for just £150.
