Performance NotesIn what is quickly becoming an annual tradition, big band favourite Guy Barker returns in 2018 with a swinging, soulful celebration of big band music with a Christmas twist!

Guy Barker’s inimitable mixture of jazz classics, unearthed treasures and Christmas oddities will put a swing in your step as the festive season kicks off.

Jazz singer and BBC Radio 2 presenter Clare Teal will be co-presenting the evening, performing alongside a range of very special guests, including a cappella all-stars Accent, Strictly Come Dancing lead singer Tommy Blaize, jazz/funk singer Vanessa Haynes and clarinettist Adrian Cox.

With Barker’s musical mastery and illustrious guests raising the roof, Guy Barker’s Big Band Christmas can convert even the grumpiest bah humbugs to the joy of Christmas.
