AFTER wowing crowds at the Romeria de Mayo Festival in Cuba and the Newark Jazz Festival, Neil C Young returns to more familiar surroundings with a gig at Manchester’s legendary venue Matt and Phreds on August 31.
With a new album - Where’s Yours? - showcasing his trio’s undoubtable talent and a growing worldwide following thanks to a well-placed track on a popular Indian compilation, the next 12 months look set to become very hectic for the affable Lancastrian.
The Neil C Young Trio - which also features Richard Young on drums and Alan Whitham on bass - are a sight to behold as they move swiftly and seamlessly through their set of original compositions and bossa nova, bebop and blues numbers.
Matt and Phreds, the real home of North West jazz, has seen many a great perform on its stage but Neil and his merry troops can more than hold their own and are sure to pick up new fans among the casual jazz aficionados who wander in from the rainy Manchester streets on any given night.
Gigs in Lancaster, Poulton-le-Fylde and Burnley precede the show at Matt and Phreds and for more details log onto introducingtheincredible.co.uk or myspace.com/neilcyoungtrio.
