Want some world class jazz? Then York’s the place to be this November

Thu 31 Oct, 2019 @ 4.05 pm Things to do Rachel Rogers

Two stellar jazz talents are hitting York in November.

And for one of them, the legendary Snake Davis, it is something of a homecoming.

Now an international jazz superstar, Snake began his live music career with York band Zoot and the Roots.

He is thrilled to be back in the city – and in one of his favourite venues. He said:

  • The National Centre For Early Music has a special place in my heart. I love this venue.

    I grew up in North Yorkshire, it’s where the music all started taking shape for me. The space we perform in makes so much difference, this one is inspiring, beautiful and evokes fond memories of wonderful past concerts.

His gig is one of two that jazz lovers can enjoy at the NCEM in November. Described as the “best male jazz singer in Britain” by the Evening Standard, Cleveland Watkiss will inject some Jamaican sunshine into an autumn York evening.
