Tonight @ Hoochie - Aaron Liddard album launch. On stage 8:30pm.

Tonight at Hoochie Coochie, Aaron Liddard, supremely talented saxophonist, launches his debut album Nylon Man. Blues & Soul have called it “A must-hear album”. This event will be FREE so get yourselves down.

To give you an idea of the class act that he is just take a look at the musicians on the album:

Andrew Liddard (tenor sax, flute, keyboards); Yelfris Valdes, Sid Gauld, Paul Jordanous, Tom White (brass); Harry Greene, Du Gomide, Robin Banerjee, Josue Ferriera, Prince Sampson (guitar); Paul Michael, Andrew McKinney, Felipe Cortes, Dean Mark, 'Level' Neville Malcolm (bass); Eric Youngs, Jimmy Norden, Raudelis Quiala Cisneros, Hammadi Valdes, Javier Gincarte, Elliott Henshaw, Mauro Martins, Marc Parnell, Mike 'Ossie' Osbourne, Leonn Meade, John Blackburn, Norman, Jankowski, Nikolaj Bjerre (drums/percussion); Omar Puente, Steve Morris, Warren Zielinski, Oli Langford, Ian Burdge (strings); Baby N'Sola, Giulia Marelli, Carleen Anderson, Segun Lee-French, Sannalisa Ikka, Sam Grimley (vocals).

Obviously they won't all be with him tonight - the stage at Hoochie isn't big enough! However, whoever he brings you can guarantee they'll be the real deal. Lance
