ABOUT US
The “All Stars” were born when good friend Peter asked me to play at his Birthday party – my regular band weren’t available so I hand-picked a group of musicians who I knew had the experience to come up with the goods and ‘get in the groove’. It was a great night, Peter loved it and I had a fantastic reaction from the other party-goers.

Classically trained, suave and sophisticated, but his most memorable
musical experience was playing with the ‘Essex Youth Jazz Orchestra’ on Clacton

He was literally blown away by the experience!
