BEN HOLDER

Ben Holder [36] is the most acclaimed and exciting jazz violinist in the UK. His classical studies began at the age of six and were complemented by training at the Birmingham Conservatoire.

An introduction to jazz came in his early teens – classic masters such as Benny Goodman, Oscar Peterson and Stephane Grappelli – and lead Ben to truly find his place as a musician.

​Ben possesses an innate sense of swing rhythm (something which often eludes classical players), breathtaking technical ability and true showmanship on stage. He offers flawless musicianship, heaps of energy and personality and a visible passion for his craft.

THE BAND

This Quartet is without doubt one the very best bands playing a wide range of jazz classics and original scores receiving rave reviews wherever they play.

With his witty repartee and incredible musicianship, Ben and his band always deliver an evening to remember!

This new show and accompanying album brims with showmanship and flair and is sure to delight any audience!

Join us for an exciting musical journey through the most foot-tapping jazz and swing, with music from Benny Goodman, Louis Armstrong, George Gershwin, The Beatles and many more!
