On bass is the multi-instrumentalist and ridiculously talented Pete Billington. Pete was a regular on our Jazz at Retro evenings and it’s great to have him playing with us again.

Taking the drum chair for the first time at a Mood Indigo event is the Anglo/French “Tambour” and leader of the French Jazz Summer Courses in the Loire, Tristan Mailliot!
