🎼🎹 Easy Street Spankers 🥁🪕🎷

The Easy Street Spankers started off as the New Toledo Jazz band playing locally in the Sheffield area. Pete Childes and Wil Robinson have always run the band together alongside Andy Bramhall and Rob Cotterell as founder members. The band changed their name to the Easy Steet Jazz Band, and Wil suggested adding "Spankers" to the name to give us a stand out difference to other bands (might have known it was Wil!)........ and as they say the rest is history. The band line up is as follows; Wil Robinson - Trumpet, Eugene Farrah - Trombone, Peter Childes - Clarinet, Andy Bramall - Banjo/Guitar, Chris Bramall - Bass and Rob Cotterell - Drums. The band have been together for over 20 years playing as requested, your passion is our passion and all of us love our music.

🎼🎹🎺Sarah Spencer’s Sax and Bone🥁🪕🎷

On a gig with the Harlem Jazz Orchestra, Zoltan and Sarah were talking and Zoltan said that he wanted to play a New Orleans Revival-style gig with himself and Sarah. Inspired, Sarah has formed a band of some of the best musicians in the UK who play in that idiom. She decided to highlight the 2-reed front line and go without a trumpet player but, instead, have Mike Owen join them, which makes the band about as authentic in the New Orleans dance hall style as possible.

Sarah Spencer - reeds, Zoltan Sagi - reeds, Mike Owen - trombone, Tom ‘Spats’ Langham - banjo/guitar, Jim Swinnerton - string bass, Graham Smith – drums

🎼🎹🎺Carl Sinclair Duo with
Sam Thornton sax (Louis Louis Louis) and Simon Smith double bass🥁🪕🎷

Coming from a family of strong musicians, Carl first started playing the piano when he was six years old. He had classical lessons to the age of twelve (just listening and learning to copy the sounds) and went on to win 'Young Musician of The Year'. A few years later, he switched to a teacher that gave more direction on improvisation, jazz and pop. By the age of eighteen, he'd mastered the art of playing boogie-woogie piano - relying on a strong left hand and a quick technique. Since 2007, he has become one of the resident pianist at Jools Holland's live music venue 'The Jam House' in Birmingham. But he’s also very privileged to have performed at some of the country’s top music festivals and theatres and at countless weddings/private parties - and even done a few for some celebrities! One of our club favourite acts, Carl Sinclair (piano) will make a return visit to us.
