Where: Tetbury Goods Shed

When: Friday, October 20

Tetbury Goods Shed welcomes the acclaimed composer and pianist David Newton with his Quartet on Friday, October 20.

Thirteen times British Jazz Award winner David Newton began his musical career in theatre before switching to jazz piano and making his first recording with Martin Taylor and Buddy De Franco.

He was then persuaded to move to London by his old Leeds College room-mate Alan Barnes. Thanks to an award-winning album with Scottish singer Carol Kidd, Newton gained a reputation as an accompanist for singers and as a direct result, has developed his insight and affinity with the Great American Songbook.

Newton has 15 albums in his name and collaborated on over 80 with other artists. He was made a fellow of The City of Leeds College of Music in 2003 and has won the British Jazz Award 13 times.

Tickets are £12 each and available from Tetbury Tourist Information.
