Paul McNamara - 7.30pm in the Hall
Solo piano programme
Let’s use only a word or two to describe his playing: ‘profound’ and ‘sublime’. John Clare recently said this about him: “We don't get to hear him often enough, but when we do the spell is deep”. Well, on April 14th you can get to hear him, and get under the spell of this true giant of Australian jazz piano!
