17th July 2011, Aldeburgh Jazz Weekend
What a jazz-packed weekend! The range of jazz was incredibly diverse, from the Latin sounds of Nick Smart, to the classic Small Group Jazz of Bobby Wellins, to the vibrance of Horn Factory and the youthful talent of Trinity. Every act was extremely high quality and the bacon butties were a hit! Look out for next year's Jazz Weekend!19th June 2011, Ipswich Jazz Club

This event was part of the 64th Aldeburgh Festival. Jazz is regularly played at The Pumphouse, but we could have been the largest ensemble they have ever hosted..... it was a squeeze, and it was LOUD but it was also a really good gig and we enjoyed it.

5th December 2009 - BBC Children in Need Carol Concert, Snape Maltings Concert Hall
This was the seventh BBC Children in Need Carol Concert to take place in Suffolk, many thanks to Rachel Sloane, who has organised each one. We were very pleased to be invited to play at this event, which sold out. The concert itself went extremely well, and the diversity of styles and interpretations of music, as well as the humorous and thoughtful readings from the BBC Suffolk radio presenters, meant there was never a dull moment. Horn Factory accompanied audience carols, as well as playing three jazzy takes on traditional Christmas tunes. The carols were arranged by Bob, Rob and Emma. You'll be able to hear highlights from the concert on Christmas Day 2009, if you tune into BBC Radio Suffolk (103.9 FM / 104.6 FM in Suffolk) or by going to their website and listening via the web.
