Nick Meier with The Spin Trio

Nick Meier with The Spin Trio
The Spin Jazz Club Oxford
Just probably Switzerland’s finest guitarist, Nic is a phenomenal player; his trademark sound, a mixture of Metheny-esque jazz, and spicy Turkish and world music rhythms is thoroughly unique and quite mesmerising. Meier’s music is rooted in his love of playing jazz on acoustic guitar, especially his Godin nylon string guitar. It’s a sound that lends itself especially to flamenco and middle-eastern music and it’s all these influences and more that Meier has so brilliantly fused together in his music. He also plays fretless acoustic guitar, which sounds something like a cross between an acoustic guitar and the oud (an Arabic stringed instrument) and the Saz, a traditional Turkish instrument.

Snake Davis with The Spin Trio

Snake Davis with The Spin Trio
The Spin Jazz Club Oxford
Expect saxophonic fireworks from one of the great, and without doubt, one of the most recorded of British saxophonists. Snake has always managed to combine technical flair with r’n’b passion and stands comparison with the great soul/jazz artists such as David Sanborn, Grover Washington and Wilton Felder (The Jazz Crusaders). His blues inflected sound has earned him those high profile gigs with the likes of Ray Charles, Tina Turner, Soul II Soul, Chaka Khan and of course Motorhead. You will have also heard him on recordings with Cher, M People and Paul McCartney and if you like going to the cinema, you may well have heard his playing on scores of scores eg Sting, Richard Niles, Dave Stewart etc etc.

Sumudu
Sumudu is a remarkable singer-songwriter from London.
She has sung with such musical luminaries as Burt Bacharach, Dionne Warwick, Elvis Costello, Sir Bob Geldof and Jason Rebello.
The Barnsley born songstress of Sri Lankan heritage has just single-handedly written, performed & arranged her first album Waiting For You; playing most of the instruments herself with production from Grammy Award winning producer Kipper (Sting). BBC Radio are comparing her to legendary artists Eva Cassidy, Karen Carpenter and Alison Krauss.
"It isn't a matter of IF Sumudu will be a big star it is WHEN. She has a voice that could melt a polar ice cap"
- Howard Goodall, RADIO 2

Alex Highton
"an old-fashioned troubadour in the strictest sense. Strumming gentle folk songs on his guitar, his warm and soulful voice conjures up memories of sun-kissed summer nights out on the lawn."
The Metro | One To Watch
"One of the most beautiful set of songs I've heard for a long time. Alex Highton is, in my opinion, set for very big things. A must have album for any discerning music lover."
