Congleton Jazz and Blues Festival

Congleton Jazz and Blues festival is back this August bank holiday!

A great Jazz and Blues music event for Congleton held over August Bank Holiday weekend. Its prime motive is to promote our lovely town.

Sneaky is classically trained on double bass and cello. He was heavily involved in the Manchester club scene in the early 1990s, working with Mr Scruff, Andy Vokel and Mark Rae. Sneaky teams up with the Cinematic Orchestra's Luke Flowers here to bring you some of his new material. Sneaky incorporates modern influences in his music using samples and loops along with his electric bass and cello to make it vibrant and energetic with unique sound and playing. They produce a blend of big grooves and break beats.

A repertoire starting with her compelling original compositions written with double bassist husband Andy Champion and performed by her highly accomplished band, guitarist Mark Williams and drummer Richard Brown. Her stockpile of music reaches a wide range of more contemporary material from composers such as Pink Floyd to Kate Bush.
