The well-loved radio presenter Campbell Burnap has become an institution in Mill Hill, performing almost every year since the Festival's inception. Our trombonist brings with him a band of some familiar faces, including Festival favourites Ron Drake on clarinet and tenor saxophone and John Rees Jones on bass. He has added established players Richard Busiakiewicz on piano, Rod Brown on drums and up-and-coming young trumpet star Ben Cummings to complete the line-up. The evening, which will also include some of Campbell's inimitable vocals, is certain to be another great evening of swinging jazz in Mill Hill.

Steve brought his 17-piece big band to play at the Jazz Club last year and it was standing room only! So this time, we thought we might need a larger venue to accommodate this ‘mind blowing’ big band. The ensemble takes its inspiration from works of the jazz greats such as Buddy Rich and Maynard Ferguson. Drummer Steve Taylor leads this inspirational and exciting outfit, with Josie Frater on percussion and vocals. “Steve is a highly respected musician, multi-instrumentalist and producer and is recognised as one of the most talented drummers in the UK.” - Rhythm Magazine
