If you haven’t made plans for Saturday night yet, there’s definitely loads to choose from.
Aside from the Race Night at the Winter Gardens and The Windows/Bastila gig at Niton Village Hall … Ventnor will be host to …
the finest alto saxophonist that Britain has ever produced and one of the finest in the world today
Yes, Peter King and his quartet will be appearing at The Boathouse on Saturday night.
Peter famously played the opening night at Ronnie Scotts in 1959 (aged only 18) and has since gone on to become a major influence on the British jazz scene. He has accompanied artists as diverse as Tony Bennett, Marlene Dietrich, James Brown and Lauren Bacall and appeared in Anthony Minghella’s ‘The Talented Mr. Ripley’.
An absolute must for all jazz fans … and I know there are loads of you out there.
