An everpopular stalwart of UK jazz, Alan is a regular award winner who features at many high profile festivals, frequently delivering a remarkable programme with his Octet that features a very high quality, experienced and versatile line-up. The musicianship from this member of Leeds College of Music alumni is first class. His special talent of engaging with the audience through his music, and with his charm and wit, can hardly be bettered!

The Grand Venue will be a perfect stage for this notable band, and Alan Barnes’ Sunday afternoon programme aimed at delivering ‘A Short and Incomplete History of Jazz’ will prove to be a compelling concert for a festival audience. The programme? - Short, because it’s a 2 hour gig Incomplete because it only includes the band’s favourite bits! Well, if it only includes tunes from Bix Beiderbecke and Louis Armstrong, through Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Gerry Mulligan to Coltrane, that will be a very attractive proposition!

He appears with his quintet for a return trip to Clitheroe.

His album releases – Birds (2013), Lion (2014) and Pinball (2015) - have proved that Neset is “on his way to being one of the biggest new draws on the circuit” with five years of heavy touring behind him, including sold out shows at some of Europe’s most prestigious festivals including North Sea Jazz, Stuttgart Jazzopen and Kongsberg Jazz Festival.
