The concert format will be a little different this year, as we will be joined by 3 different singers who will perform solo numbers alongside the band. The seating will still be cabaret style and the bar will be open before, during and after the concert creating a real ‘lounge bar’ atmosphere.

HCB’s Musical Director David McClintock says:

‘This is one of our longest standing concerts, loved by our audience and band alike. It’s always very well supported and often a sell out, so we’re really looking forward to welcoming 3 new singers for the 2018 concert.’

Sam is one of 3 singers who will perform a number of popular jazz numbers with the band.. keep an eye out for the introduction to the others coming very soon!
