BEN HOLDER TRIO
THURSDAY 17TH DECEMBER 2026

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.
Ben’s various awards bear testimony to these abilities. Often playing across the UK, Europe and further afield, he is a first-call jazz violinist for many of the country’s top venues, line-ups and studios.
The Ben Holder Trio is a stellar line-up of incredible musicians, blending an energetic mix of traditional jazz and Gypsy Swing with Ben’s own infectious originals, which hark back to the fun and swing of the 1920s and 1930s.
The group is one of the most exciting bands to emerge in recent years. Led by the fiery enthusiasm of Ben on extraordinary violin, the trio is strengthened by the phenomenal musicians on guitar and double bass. The Ben Holder Trio masterfully mix old jazz favourites and upbeat swingers with some more recent material and leave audiences up and down the country shouting for more.
Expect foot-tapping standards and festive frolics as you’ve never experienced before!

Jazz Florian Arbenz Convergence Project
2027-04-29 19:30 - 22:00
FLORIAN ARBENZ CONVERGENCE PROJECT
THURSDAY 29TH APRIL 2027

Inspired in part by the great drummer/bandleaders like Art Blakey, Max Roach and Peter Erskine, Florian set up the Convergence project to perform the hard-swinging joy-filled jazz that helped us fall in love with this genre.
For 2025 & 2026, they will present a brand-new CD – Moon – featuring the incredible Cuban Vistel brothers, Maikel & Jorge – and they will be touring extensively from their combined bases in Switzerland and Spain.
Florian Arbenz sees jazz not as a fixed style but as a framework to adapt and reshape. On Moon, that means using the drums to set space and colour for strong musical voices to connect. The result is direct, modern jazz that respects its roots while speaking today’s language.
This will be a Truly International Performance with world class Jazz musicians in the line up.
The Line Up
Jorge Vistel: trumpet
Maikel Vistel: sax
Ivo Neame: piano
Rafael Jerjen: bass
Florian Arbenz:drums
