North London Tavern in February









For the last gig of January we welcome trumpet player Robbie Robson and his band to the NLT, as well as another Rob - saxophone player Rob Cope, and his band that includes Tom Cawley and Josh Blackmore.

We've got also got great gigs for the whole of February - starting on the 5th with sax player Tom Challenger's new brass project and trumpeter Mark Crown (who played at the first ever NLT!) and his quintet.

On the 12th we welcome a great improv trio of drummer Mark Sanders, bassist John Edwards and clarinet player Shabaka Hutchings. They will play opposite Joe Wright's astonishingly good Octet.

The 19th will be a special one: Henry Lowther brings his own small group to the NLT for the first time, a truly great band which includes Pete Saberton, Pete Hurt, Dave Green and Paul Clarvis. This night will also be the second gig on Josh Arcoleo's album launch tour - his album is coming out on Edition Records - and his quartet will be Ivo Neame, Calum Gourlay and James Maddren.

Saxophonist Andy Scott and drummer / percussionist Dave Hassell headline our last gig of the month - their duo is refreshingly unique, and this will be a rare London appearance. The other band will be my own quintet, featuring the great George Crowley, Tom Taylor, James Opstad and Dave Hamblett.
