The Other Side of John Wheatcroft

John Wheatcroft, Alan Barnes & friends


The highly acclaimed Liverpool-based jazz guitarist John Wheatcroft is renowned for his inspired transcriptions of Django Reinhardt‘s extensive back catalogue from the Hot Club de France period. But Wheatcroft has another side to his playing; that of an essentially contemporary player, with an overriding musical reference to the jazz fusion movement of recent decades.

Wheatcroft is aided and abetted by his close friend and regular sideman, the award-winning saxophonist, clarinetist, educator and composer Alan Barnes, with the rest of the line-up drawn from some of the finest local exponents of jazz.



The afternoon is guaranteed to pack a powerful punch, musically speaking,


John Wheatcroft - guitar
Alan Barnes - sax & clarinet
Ian Riley - keyboards
Bill Coleman - bass
Chris Hilliard - drums

Plus one or two special guests!
