Ben Holder Quartet

Ben Holder [33] is the most acclaimed and exciting jazz violinist in the UK. His classical studies began at the age of six and were complemented by training at the Birmingham Conservatoire. An introduction to jazz came in his early teens – classic masters such as Benny Goodman, Oscar Peterson and Stephane Grappelli – and lead Ben to truly find his place as a musician. Ben possesses an innate sense of swing rhythm (something which often eludes classical players), breathtaking technical ability and true showmanship on stage. He offers flawless musicianship, heaps of energy and personality and a visible passion for his craft. ​Ben's various awards bear testimony to these abilities. Often playing across the UK, Europe and further afield, he is a first-call jazz violinist for many of the country's top venues, line-ups and studios.

Led by the fiery enthusiasm of Ben Holder, The BHQ features four of the U.K jazz scene's absolute finest players, namely Jez Cook on guitars, Paul Jefferies on double bass and Nick Milward on drums. This new show and accompanying album brims with showmanship and flair and is sure to delight any audience! Join us for an exciting musical journey through the most foot-tapping jazz and swing. With music from Benny Goodman, Louis Armstrong, George Gershwin, The Beatles and many more, plus infectious originals, this is jazz and swing as you've never seen it!

Ben will be performing 2 x 45minute sets with a break in between for drinks and refreshments.
