He led his own Northside Jazz Band for twenty-six years before forming ‘Richard Leach’s 7 Stars of Jazz’, making a huge impact on the UK jazz club and festival scene. His street band this evening features: RICHARD LEACH, trombone; TONY PIPKIN, cornet; ZOLTAN SAGI, clarinet & alto sax; MARK CHALLINOR, banjo & ukulele; NICK WARD, drums & percussion; and DAVE DEAKIN, sousaphone, providing an evening of glittering musicality.
