Dave O’Higgins w/ The Spin Trio

Thursday 2nd September 2021

Anybody that is sax player, and anybody that is a fan of great sax players will know about Dave O’Higgins - for all the right reasons: Dave has quite rightly been acknowledged as one of the greatest exponents in the UK (and beyond) of this instrument for several decades!

But… just in case Dave hasn’t been on your radar, let us lure you to this gig by giving you the briefest synopsis of his work. Dave has:

Toured/recorded with: Joey Calderazzo, Joe Locke, Adam Nussbaum, Joe Lovano, Phil Woods, Jimmy Smith, Nancy Wilson, Peggy Lee, Kurt Elling, Wayne Shorter, Eddie Gomez, Stephane Grappelli, Michel Legrand, Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra. He has released 20 CDs as leader to date. He also wrote and produced the last Matt Bianco album, “Gravity”.

That is a small segment of Dave’s career which includes a vast discography. Here is how one national paper recently summed up Dave’s musicianship:

“O’Higgins plays with quite exceptional fluency and his fund of ideas never runs out.” - THE OBSERVER

This promises to be a great gig - back at the very popular gin distillery! We advise you to book ASAP, as this is sure to sell out!

For anybody that hasn’t yet been to TOAD, we highly recommend this venue for the vibe - and the great gins! It’s easy to get to and there’s plenty of parking. Once you’re there, you’ll find that the staff are all super-positive, making for memorable, atmospheric nights! Do not miss!
