Steve Waterman & The Spin Band

Thursday 21st July 2022

We are delighted to welcome back the club’s most popular (and equally brilliant) trumpeter, Steve Waterman. Let’s get this out of the way straight away: last year, when Steve was our guest, the gig sold out in 24 hours!! So, please excuse us saying right here... BOOK NOW, folks!!

It’s hard to know where to start in summarising Steve’s career, given the vast body of first-class work achieved...so in very brief, Steve’s CV includes:

- as a player, work with Carla Bley, Vince Mendoza, Andy Sheppard, John Surman etc. etc..

- as an educator, is currently visiting professor of jazz trumpet at Trinity College, London, Royal Northern College Of Music and the Welsh College of Music.

- as a composer, in addition to numerous commissions, Steve is one of only a handful of British composers to have pieces in the New European Real Book (Sher Music).


Backing Steve for this gig will be the house band of Pete Oxley on guitar (who, as it happens, is also one of that handful of British jazz composers to have works published in the aforementioned Real Book!), new super-talent, Louis Stringer on bass and for the first time at the Spin, ace drummer Andrew ‘Woody’ Wood.
