Drummer

Stafford

Connected with the Birmingham jazz scene. In contact with a constant supply of musicians to add variety to our performances. Specialise in bebop arrangements of old jazz standards - perfect for a wedding or a resident cafe/bar environment. Performed with Staffordshire Youth Jazz Orchestra and National Youth Jazz Orchestra. Professional work involves sets at Isle of Wight Festival two years running, NEC Birmingham performance with the amazing singer Rhianna Keane, resident house jazz quartet at The Littleton Arms Hotel and The Harrows Inn. Performed for the Mayor of Uttoxeter at 'An Evening of Jazz'. I look forward to being in touch, Reece.
