CLARE HIRST QUARTET
Clare's excellent quartet start off the festival with material from her recent CD.

SATURDAY 24th. June 11.0 - 5.0pm.

TIM WHITEHEAD QUARTET
Tim Whitehead, formerly with Nucleus and Loose Tubes, with his regular quartet featuring Pete Jacobsen on piano. This quartet has the ability to combine intimate and reflective qualities with tight dynamic rhythms. Definitely worth making an early start for.

PETER KING with THE BRYAN SPRING TRIO
Excited anticipation surrounds this coming together, especially for Appleby, of Britains top alto player and top drummer.

THE STAN TRACEY TRIO/QUINTET
The first appearance at Appleby of Stan's trio with Malcolm Creese (bass) and Clark Tracey (drums) which should mean plenty of great piano playing to be later augmented by the considerable talents of the two tenor giants Art Themen and Don Weller.

SATURDAY 24th June 7.0 12pm.

JOHN HORLER TRIO
An all-star trio led by brilliant pianist John Horler, with the legendary drummer John Marshall and the great virtuoso bass player Roy Babbington .

THE DON WELLER BIG BAND
Don has chosen the cream of British musicians to premier his composition "The Pennine Suite", which has been comissioned by Appleby Jazz Society and Jazz Action. The line up includes messrs. King, Themen, Barnes, O'Higgins, Panayi, Lowther, Presencer, Nightingale, Griffiths all backed up by Don's regular trio of Dave Newton, Dave Barry and Andy Cleyndert.

LEE GIBSON
Many people will be surprised to find that there is an outstanding british female singer they haven,t heard of. This exciting and extremely musical vocalist, backed by the John Horler trio and Dave O'Higgins guesting on tenor saxophone, should provide the perfect end for the day.

SUNDAY 25th. June 11.0 - 4.pm

ANDY PANAYI TRIO
Andy plays alto, tenor, baritone and flute equally well and is a player of great subtlety who makes every note and phrase count. He is joined by bass player Steve Watts and the most sought after drummer in the country, Clark Tracey.

DAVE NEWTON SOLO
Nobody who knows Dave's piano playing will miss this chance to hear him play solo. For many people this will be a festival highlight.

IAIN DIXON QUARTET
Iain gives the impression of being totally at home blowing a tenor sax. Thoughtful, inventive playing with a great feel to it.

STAN TRACEY & GERARD PRESENCER
This pairing was first tried at the QEH and brought the house down.

ALAN BARNES SEXTET.
Alan has an in exhaustible enthusiasm for the tradition of jazz and has the ability to play the whole history of jazz saxophone while forging his own personality through it. He will be joined by Andy Panayi, Iain Dixon and Dave Newton (who all feature on his acclaimed new CD "Thirsty Work") plus Gerard Presencer, Clark Tracey and Steve Watts.

SUNDAY 25th. June 4.30 - 9.0pm.
