Bands
Digby
Fairweather's Half Dozen
Winners of Marston’s
Pedigree “UK Best Small Jazz Band Award” for 2005 & 2006!
“relaxed, witty and amazingly accomplished - there’s not
another band with quite this range anywhere in the
world!”
Dave Gelly, The Observer
“Of course, like most people in the jazz world, I've
known and admired Digby for many years. I recognised a
passionate cornet-player in diverse styles from Story
vile to Swing Street and beyond, but never with any
suggestion (unlike some musicians committed to one style
or another) of a tongue lodged in a cheek. For him all
jazz is sacred land. Digby I salute you !”
George
Melly
‘Refreshingly free of one of the contemporary scene’s
besetting sins - ‘attitude’ - but replete with warmth,
affection, and unfussy skill’
Chris Parker Jazzwise
Dixieland rubs
shoulders easily and naturally with R&B, traditional
jazz with rock-oriented guitar solos; pure
entertainment!
The Vortex
2007 see the Half Dozen joined by BBC Radio 2 Blues man,
Paul Jones - star of the Manfred Mann group as
well as ‘the Manfreds’ and the world-famous ‘Blues Band’
for select shows – dates on application!
