It is a great pleasure for us to welcome to Hackensack the well-respected and much-loved Geoff Simkins! Don’t miss this night, as he makes a rare playing appearance in Cardiff.

He is featured on many recordings, the most recent of which is “Conversations” with Dave Cliff and Simon Woolf, and issued on Symbol Records, as is the much praised CD Don’t Ask’ with Nikki Iles, Simon Woolf and Martin France. He has appeared many times on BBC radio’s Jazz Club and Jazz Parade and was the subject of a documentary made by TVS.

Over the years, Geoff has played with such luminaries as Art Farmer, Bobby Shew, Al Cohn, Tal Farlow, Slide Hampton, Warren Vache, Al Grey, Kenny Davern, Bill Berry, Al Casey, Howard Alden, Ruby Braff, Bill Coleman and Conte Candoli. Recently Geoff has toured with guitarist Howard Alden and recorded a quartet CD with him.

£5 to get in. FREE to get out. Gonna be increds.
