A very Happy New Year to everyone! We are starting the new year with some new and exciting updates to the Jazz Course at Grafham Water.
After two decades running Jazz at Grafham, Martin is handing over the Course Director role to Josh Kemp. Martin will still be there, playing and mentoring.
We are also pleased to announce a fantastic new course tutor for the January Jazz Weekend – Nick Tomalin. Nick is a hugely experienced pianist and composer living and working in London. He studied at Leeds College of Music and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
During his twenty-year career, Nick has performed at many prestigious jazz venues in London, including the 606 Club, the Jazz Café, The Vortex, and Ronnie Scott’s. As well as performing and recording with his own band, Nick has appeared as a sideman for Mark Lockheart, Stan Sulzman, Jim Mullen, John Etheridge, Mark Nightingale, and Alan Barnes amongst many others. Nick also has a wide experience as a jazz educator, running the Jazz Education branch of the E17 Jazz Collective for many years.
