Featuring Liane Carroll (voice and piano) Roger Carey (bass guitar) Mark Fletcher (drums)

It's been 8 years since we were first introduced to and were captivated by Liane at Southport Arts Centre. Since then she has played at Southport Melodic Jazz Club several times with one occasion resulting in our biggest ever club audience. This is hardly surprising for a song writing, vocal and pianistic talent that has seen Liane move from early tours in the ' 90's with Gerry Rafferty, Jerry Donahue and Long John Baldry to regular headline gigs at Ronnie Scott's, a tour of Brazil where she played to a 50,000 audience and an appearance at Glastonbury Festival in 2007. After picking up 'Musician of the Year' award from the Parliamentary Jazz Awards in 2008, she has enjoyed great acclaim for her collaborations with pianist Brian Kellock and vocalist Ian Shaw. In 2011 her trio went to the USA and played at iconic jazz venues Dizzy's and The Lincoln Centre in New York and also at the world famous Rochester Jazz Festival. We heard her last at a knock-out gig at the Titley Jazz Festival last July with the trio including tonight's drummer Mark Fletcher and that clinched it. You must not miss this one.
