Event information

Bob Dylan refers to him as " my favourite English piano player" - regardless of the fact he is Welsh.

Seemingly the eternal sideman of choice for some of the greatest names in music of the last fifty years, Geraint Watkins is now belatedly devoting more time to his own career doing shows with his own band - The Mosquitoes. This is a rare and unmissable opportunity to hear the man and his music in north London.

His two sets comprise a wondrous selection of material from albums in a solo career that has only rarely been glimpsed between Watkins' distinguished work for other artists. Most of these songs are examples of his own compositions - shaped by his broad and impeccable taste in music - with the bonus of a small clutch of fabulous renderings of some classic titles, incomparably re-modelled by the same pair of hands.

Geraint Watkins (vocals/keyboards/accordion), Martin Winning (tenor sax/clarinet), Oliver Darling (guitar/vocals), Paul Riley (bass), Malcolm Mills (drums). Plus special guest - Bob Loveday (violin)
