Rapidly gaining notoriety as one of the finest and most exuberant jazz violinists the UK has to offer and highly regarded internationally, this hugely talented musician, magician and tall story teller leaves audiences breathless and full of wonder at his immense energy and sheer musicality. Ben fills venues wherever he goes - performing as guest musician with rhythm sections across Europe and with his own ensembles - which include an all star quintet, a four piece of distinction and as a trio with long time collaborators Jez Cook (guitar) and bassist Paul Jefferies. These three know each other very, very well so musical communication between them is almost telepathic, but most critically this excellent guitar and bass rhythm section know full well how to push Mr Holder into violinistic acrobatics and then bring him back to earth with some of the most beautiful ballad playing you’ll hear. Ben will be presenting us with a smorgasbord of music from Gypsy Swing jazz through Benny Goodman and a fat slice of the Great American Songbook. Very tasty - but grab your tickets early as his shows always sell out.
