Come celebrate one of Bristol’s jazz champions as Andy Hague turns 60 in style.

A key figure in the local scene since the late ’80s, Andy has done it all, from founding the Be-Bop Club and Bristol Jazz Workshops to performing with jazz royalty like Mike Westbrook, Pee Wee Ellis, and Portishead.

His mighty Big Band returns after a show-stopping set for Jazzata’s 40th anniversary, featuring top soloists like Johnny Bruce, Ben Waghorn, Kevin Figes, Raph Clarkson, and pianist Jim Blomfield.

Expect a night of big energy, brilliant playing, and a whole lot of love for a local legend.
