Nigel Price is in the top two jazz guitarists in the UK right now, winning that accolade twice in the UK jazz awards. He has over 500 appearances at Ronnie Scott’s and his last two albums charted in the top ten in both UK and US jazz charts.
Nigel is coming to Torquay to perform again with the Liquid Spirit Trio using our very own grand piano in the Corinthian room on Thursday 27th February. Music starts at 8 with doors open at 6.30. The same band played for us to a great reception in October 2023 and Liquid Spirit is delighted to welcome Nigel back to entertain us again with his original tunes, quirky arrangements and well known jazz standards. Don’t miss this very special musician!
