Claire Jones trained as a classical pianist and singer at the Guildhall School of Music. She went on to develop a fine and original jazz voice, with an ear for jazz language and a warm personal style. As well as singing with her own band and with a female close harmony jazz group, Claire guests for numerous jazz line-ups in the region.

The Annie Parker Collective is a spontaneous and loosely-international, organic and even free-range type of band! Annie has created the group to bring together different types of music she has been involved with, to mix it up and see what happens. At present it is a three-piece consisting of Zimbabwean Tomson Chauke, known as the “walking percussion kit”, locally-produced Lawrie Wright, a multi-instrumentalist who has his agile fingers in many musical pies and Annie Parker herself who comes originally from Wales and plays flutes of various sizes. Voices and keyboard can also feature, depending on the moment, and there are plans afoot to add bass and indian tablas. Annie, who has been described as a flute-playing Puck - but you have to be careful how you say that - writes the charts for this genre-bending collective, but when they get going they often get sidetracked and are as intrigued as you are about where they will end up.

P’Jam is a group of four friends who found they were having fun and making satisfyingly jazzy sounds together even when playing Beatles’ numbers. So they thought they’d get the act together, get a few gigs and present themselves for, hopefully, your delight. They don’t have a band photo so they’ve used one of Annie since she’s out front. Ah yes, the band name? See if you can figure it out. Annie Parker flutes & alto sax, Phil Craddock piano, Marianne Windham bass, Jim Wade drums
