Tony Kofi’s Homage to Ornette Coleman (Friday 2 December 2016)

“One ‘helluva’ band of musicians! Rod Youngs on drums was a delightful mix of ability, style and humour, just great to see live which could never be the same on a cd. While we were clearing up at the end, Rod stood up whilst packing up his kit, looked around and slowly said out loud and slow with a small smile on his face….”Wakefield”. It was obvious to me that it was his appreciation of the club and its audience.” – Mike W

Nigel Price Organ Quartet (Friday 18 November 2016)

“WHAT A NIGHT! Totally unexpected for me, unless the guitarist is John Etheridge or Mike Walker I find it not to my taste BUT Nigel Price is amazing. Similarly with Hammond Organ, I like the instrument but it rarely lives up to my expectation – this fellow was GREAT. Kept thinking ‘is this really happening in Wakefield!'” – Mike P

“Loved the Nigel Price quartet – what a great night! I do look forward to my next visit to God’s own county.
Love and good wishes to all.” – Ivan
