The Big Chris Barber Band from the John Boddy Agency


 
Chris Barber Tour Dates now available during Spring/Summer 2011.

 


Chris Barber celebrates his 60th year as a band leader in 2009, with his 11-piece band, featuring its 7-strong front line.

Playing a selection of his favourite music: from his roots in New Orleans style in "Bourbon Street Parade" (still his signature tune) to the early music of Duke Ellington and Sidney Bechet, Bob Crosby, blues by Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee ... and probably back to "When the Saints"!

The Big Chris Barber Band combine all these ingredients into an evening of exciting, and often moving, Jazz and Blues.  Great entertainment for all.
