The Sopranos is an exciting six piece jazz band, formed in 2014 by reeds men Chris Pearce and Andy Leggett, playing a wide variety of swinging jazz with influences ranging from New Orleans, to Arlo Guthrie, via Sydney Bechet, Johnny Dodds and Jimmy Noone.
The band's performances feature Chris and Andy playing a full range of reed instruments including soprano, alto and tenor sax, clarinet, and even penny whistle and vocals too. 

 The highly popular swingin’ drummer Baby Jools will be bringing out his Jazzaholics combo setting a fire under the old-time traditional jazz songbook. Baby Jools is part of the new youth movement in old school New Orleans jazz. The Gloucester musician spends much of his time as the drummer with Jim McIntosh and Max Collie, but the Jazzaholics have now been together for a number of years, thereby strengthening his own leadership duties.

 Alan Gresty & Brian White’s Ragtimers The band was originally formed to pay tribute to the great cornetist, Muggsy Spanier. Their interpretation of his music had led them to record three volumes of ‘Muggsy Remembered’ for the New Orleans based ‘Jazzology’ label. The repertoire of the band has now been extended to include other material from the Golden Age of Dixieland.
