Mike is a great guitarist and has been a guest and friend of the SJGS for several years.  He was be supported at this concert by Dave Newton, one of the UK's top jazz pianists.  Dave has been voted best Jazz Pianist in the British Jazz awards six times.  He is known particularly for his swinging and exquisite playing with guitarist Martin Taylor, saxophonists Alan Barnes and Don Weller and singers Annie Ross and Stacey Kent.  Recently he's worked extensively in the musical freedom of his trio whilst working on two other new recording projects, as an arranger and a composer.
