Band Bio

First set 7.30pm

Vincent Peirani accordion, Tim Garland saxophone. Guest: Niklas Lukassen bass

The man who ten years ago completely renewed the language of the accordion - and continues to do so - has become a major artist, whose uninhibited, cosmopolitan view of music and sense of instrumental combination and colour, enable him to bring that rare and precious magical touch to everything he does.

Vincent is joined by Tim Garland on saxophone and Niklas Lukassen, bass.

Niklas Lukassen displays an equally astonishing lyrical sensibility and skilful command of the upright bass, the bass guitar, and his unique bass cello. Described as "a versatile bass virtuoso" by Jazzwise magazine, he has emerged on the international jazz scene as an original voice with a vision that also demonstrates a natural bandleader's authority.

Intermission

Second Set : 9.00 pm approx

Hejira - Celebrating Joni Mitchell

Hejira is an outstanding 7-piece band set up to celebrate and honour the masterful works of the legendary Joni Mitchell.

The 7 piece band is fronted by the extraordinarily talented Jana Varga, who not only sings masterfully with Joni’s pitch-accuracy, poise, and dignity, but also plays guitar with the unique mannerisms of Mitchell.

She is an exceptional musician, who initially studied classical music to a very high level, but also immersed herself in folk, jazz and rock genres. Jana is an outstanding songwriter and has had a close working relationship - touring and recording- with the platinum-selling artist, Rumer.
