Liane Carroll at Jazz Hastings

Jazz Hastings October session will feature the welcome return of one of Hastings’ best loved artists, Liane Carroll, who will be performing with her trio on Tuesday 7 October. Julian Norridge writes.

Liane Carroll has been a pillar of the British jazz scene for over 35 years. While we like to think of her as one of Hastings’ own, she also has a huge national and international reputation.

She has collaborated with such diverse artists as Paul McCartney, Gerry Rafferty, Long John Baldry, Ian Shaw, Claire Martin and drum and bass outfit London Elektricity, with whom she appeared at Glastonbury in 2017. 

As a recording artist Liane has gathered much critical acclaim. Her five most recent albums have all earned a four-star review in The Guardian. Seaside, her homage to her life by the coast, won the coveted British Jazz Award for Best New CD in 2015.

For this session, Liane will be playing with her regular trio, featuring husband Roger Carey on bass (he doubles as regular bassist for Steeleye Span when he’s not with Liane) and long-standing Midge Ure collaborator Russell Field on drums.

Liane Carroll Trio Jazz Hastings, Tuesday 7 October, East Hastings Sea Angling Association (on the Stade behind the lifeboat station). Doors open 7.45pm for 8.30 start, tickets £15 on the door, £3 for under 18s.
