  Now residing in South Carolina but originally from East London, Pete Neighbour has performed extensively in Europe, North America, Australia and Asia. In more recent years he has carved a niche for himself being one of very few jazz musicians to reach a wider audience by performing as a Headline Guest Entertainer on luxury cruise ships. His act focuses particularly on the ‘Swing era’ with music and stories from that era never failing to ensure an enthralling evening’s entertainment.  He was recently awarded the ‘Entertainer of the Year’ award by the Italian six star luxury cruise line ‘Silversea’.  Pete has performed at private parties for His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales at Highgrove House and for Sir Michael Caine, Mick Jagger and venues such as London’s The Royal Festival Hall, New York’s Lincoln Centre, The Orient Express, The House of Lords and Scottish Baronial castles

  Dave Newton – Winner of the 2014 British Jazz Awards for Best Pianist again for the 13th year! Dave is the Big Screen Take One pianist/narrator and appears with all the top musicians including Derek Nash, Tina May, Stacey Kent, Claire Martin and Marion Montgomery to name just a few!

  Described by Clark Tracey “As one of the best vibes players this country has ever produced” Nat Steele’s Quartet is regularly featured on the Late Show at  London’s’ Ronnie Scott’s and is known for swinging mainstream and bebop jazz.

  Runner Up in the 2014 British Jazz Awards for Best Bassist Dave Green has toured with Charlie Watts to USA, Brazil and Japan. He’s been part of the Scott Hamilton Quartet for the last sixteen years. It’s easy to see why he has become one of the bass players in the world. Joined the Chris Barber Band in 2007.
