Gala Lunchtime Concert (August)

Graham Hardy Quartet

Trumpeter Graham Hardy is a familiar face to jazz fans in the North East as both bandleader (including the Northern Monkey Brass Band) and as sideman in numerous other groups based in the area (including the Sue Ferris Quintet, John Pope Quintet, the Ushaw Ensemble, and many more besides).

Performing both standards and original music rooted in the jazz tradition, his all-new quartet features Ben Lawrence (piano), Andy Champion (double bass), and John Bradford (drums).
