Back in deep dark February I was working on a HBO show called ‘Succession’ and here are the amusingly vague and fleeting shots of me, Tommy Andrews and Theon Cross in the band - the poor trumpets in the back row were not spotted, nor were the rhythm section!



I love that my bald spot is the best lit thing in the above photo!!



Well at least that kind of has our faces in it!

I think you’d have to be an absolute eagle eye to spot me in this! If you care, which I’m sure you don’t, I think it is Episode 10 that we’re in!

Definitely worth it! Does this count as a TV credit? Probably not...

I hope you are enjoying this glorious English summer like we’ve never seen before! The heat is here to stay and I’ve experienced some heat myself!

This weekend took me off to deepest darkest Oxford for the Wilderness Festival where I performed with the Patchwork Jazz Orchestra. It was an insane gig, the music written by some of the guys in the band is truly fantastic and it was a great festival too! The writing, particularly for the baritone saxophone was an absolute pleasure to play!

@patchworkjazzorchestra at @wildernesshq today! Such a great gig #jazz #bigband #swing #patchworkjazzorchestra #baritonesax #bari

In other news the Andrew Linham Jazz Orchestra gig at the Belvedere Jazz Club is SOLD OUT which is very exciting indeed, which means you’ll have to book to see us at the Vortex on Saturday 16th December 2018 for our ‘Christ-Mess’ Extravaganza.

Also, if you have a hankering to hear my Quartet we’re doing a performance in the Queens Theatre on Thursday 29th November with guest trumpeter Sam Warner which is going to be absolutely fabulous!

Other than that enjoy the rest of this glorious summer!

But remember, Christ-Mess is coming...

I know it’s the Summer right now and nobody wants to think about Christmas shopping, mince pies and Auntie Ethel falling asleep in her yule log after too many sherries but I do have big news.

No it’s not that...


The Andrew Linham Jazz Orchestra can officially announce that this Christmas for the first time ever we are doing a special

Christ-Mess Extravaganza at The Vortex in Dalston.

Sunday 16th December
8pm

More details can be found on the Vortex Website here!

You can even buy your tickets now - what a perfect Christmas present indeed, so get ready to don your Christmas Jumpers, kiss under the mistletoe and listen to some outrageous reharmonisations of Christmas tune fodder.

I’m even getting all the Christmas Memes ready to promote this which is going to make for some fun advertising indeed so do watch out for those on the book of face - have you liked me yet?

We hope you’re looking forward to getting into the Christmas Spirit both musically and alcoholically with us!

Christ-Mess Is Coming!!
